At the heart of the life of St Anne’s Cathedral is the daily pattern of prayer and worship. This daily rhythm of prayer forms the framework of all that we do.

11:00 - Sung Eucharist
Sung Eucharist is the same as Eucharist but with the addition of glorious choral pieces and organ music, hymns in which the congregation joins the singing, and sermon – a service during which Bible readings and prayers are said, and bread and wine is shared.
15:30 - Choral Evensong
Choral Evensong is a beautiful tradition during which the ‘song’ of voices sounding together in harmony is heard at the ‘even’ point between the active day and restful night, allowing listeners time for restful contemplation.
At various times through the year the cathedral hosts special services for various organisations, and these will be listed below in our special services.
