Governance & People

The Corporation of the Cathedral Church of St Paul in London is made up of the Chapter, the Cathedral Council, College of Canons and College of Minor Canons. 

Chapter
The Chapter makes up the governing body of St Paul’s and is responsible for overseeing the day-to-day running of the Cathedral. The composition of the Chapter is a Dean, four Residentiary Canons with different responsibilities across the Cathedral, and three Lay Canons each with a different portfolio. St Paul’s has a new Dean beginning in May and is currently without a Canon Chancellor. 
Members of Chapter

Cathedral Council
The Cathedral Council furthers and supports the work of the Cathedral in many capacities including spiritual, pastoral, evangelistic, missionary, social and ecumenical. It also reviews and advises upon the direction and oversight of that work by the Chapter.

College of Minor Canons
The Minor Canons have particular areas of specialist responsibility (ceremonial, pastoral and musical) though much of their ministry is shared and overlaps in many respects. They are responsible for the singing of the choral services. As priests of the Cathedral, they share a full part in celebrating the Eucharist, preaching, officiating at marriages and baptisms, and providing pastoral care and support to staff and visitors alike.

Administration
The Cathedral’s administration is run by the Registrar, Nicholas Cottam CB OBE, backed by a number of committees. On a day-to-day basis, the Cathedral’s staff ensure the smooth running of the building and welcome worshippers and visitors.
