St Paul’s Cathedral invites you to journey with us through Lent and Holy Week as we follow Jesus’ path to his death on the cross and his glorious resurrection on Easter Day.
Lent, Holy Week and Easter include some of the most important dates in the Christian calendar. We follow the story of Jesus’s life, how he faced suffering and death, and inspired many to believe and live a new way of life. St Paul’s will be bringing the opportunity to follow this holy season, with our regular services both in the Cathedral and online.
Lent begins with Ash Wednesday (March 2) with services at 12.15pm and 6.00pm. The Imposition of Ashes will be available at both services.
This year’s Lent Sermon Series will be led by members of the Cathedral’s Ministry Team and explore the theme of Living a Life of Discipleship. Each week’s sermon will be paired with a discussion group to delve deeper into the topic of the week.
