We have brief daily prayer services at 8.30am, midday and 3.45pm – they are open to all. Sometimes it’s a good opportunity to share a burden or seek peace.
Tuesdays, the Bishop’s Eucharist takes place at 7am.
Wednesdays a 10am Communion is held.
Sunday morning our services are at 8am and 10am, with the 10am being a family service on the last Sunday of the month.

Taranaki Cathedral Church of St Mary Service Times
Every Sunday we have two services, each offering fellowship, music and the opening up of the Scripture.
8am service of Holy Communion is quiet and concise with two hymns. Some people like to slip in to this service and quietly leave at the end.
On the first Sunday of the month, tea, coffee and toast is available after this service. It’s an opportunity to catch up with people or meet those on a similar journey.
10am service is also a Holy Communion service. It attracts a cross-generational mix of people. Toys, drawing and games are available for toddlers at the back of the church.
It's been more than 7 years since the last service times update. Please make sure to contact the church to confirm service times.
