Chaplains and Minor Canons

The Chaplains and Minor Canons

Meet the full-time clergy who help organise our services and provide pastoral support to the Cathedral’s visitors and worshipers.

There are four full-time clergy working at St Paul's who are part of its ministry and mission team, but are not members of Chapter. Two are Minor Canons with particular areas of specialist responsibility, including ceremonial and musical.

The Chaplains are responsible for the pastoral care of the Cathedral. If you would like to contact any of the Minor Canons, please contact the Liturgical Office on liturgy@stpaulscathedral.org.uk or call 0207 246 8354.

Paula Hollingsworth

The Reverend Paula Hollingsworth

Chaplain

The Reverend Paula Hollingsworth is Chaplain at St Paul's Cathedral. The Chaplain’s main responsibility is in offering pastoral support to the Cathedral community and to visitors. She also plays a part in leading Cathedral services. Before coming to St Paul’s, Paula held a variety of roles in parish and cathedral ministry, teaching, training and spiritual direction in Somerset, Birmingham and Leicester. Paula was in the first cohort of women who were ordained as priests in 1994. Before ordination she taught Maths in Uganda.

The Reverend Andrew Richardson

Assistant Chaplain

Andrew was ordained by the Episcopal Church in Scotland, where he served full time in parish ministry in Dundee, and later in Glasgow's East End. During his ministry in Scotland he was closely involved in the work of interfaith dialogue and education, serving as Bishop's Officer for Interfaith Relations in Glasgow and representing the Church at national events and in local discussion.

Andrew moved to London in 2015, where he served as Assistant Priest in a City of London parish, before becoming Interim Chaplain at St Paul's Cathedral in 2019 and then later, Assistant Chaplain. He relishes the opportunities and privilege Cathedral chaplaincy provides for meeting people from across London, the UK and the wider world too.

On the behalf of the Dean, Robert serves as Chaplain to the Worshipful Company of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, and he also serves as an Assistant Area Director of Ordinands for the Two Cities Episcopal Area in the Diocese of London.

Prior to joining St Paul’s, the Sacrist was a Pastoral Assistant at St Matthew's, Westminster – a long-established scheme for those discerning a vocation to the priesthood, and went on to train at Westcott House, Cambridge. He went on to serve as the assistant Curate in the Benefice of Brighton: St Michael and All Angels and St Paul’s. There, he also served as Priest - Sequestrator at St Bartholomew’s Church, Brighton and as a volunteer chaplain to the YCMA DownsLink Group.

The Reverend Robert Kozak

Succentor

With the Precentor and the Sacrist, the Succentor has a share in the planning, management, and delivery of our daily and special services, especially those of a musical nature. He also shares responsibility with the Precentor, for caring for Cathedral Musicians, which includes supporting our Visiting Choirs and assisting in the appointment of organists and the Vicars Choral.

On the behalf of the Liturgy Department, the Succentor is responsible for various administrative aspects of our worship, including the production of the monthly service schedule, the psalm cycle, the choosing of hymns, and deals with issues of copyright and licences. With the Chaplain, the Succentor also assists with the liturgical management of our weddings and baptisms portfolio.

Prior to joining St Paul’s, the Succentor was the Priest in Charge of the Parish of Letchworth where he looked after the churches of St Michael the Archangel and St Mary the Virgin. Brought up in Poland, he worked as an organist in churches in Cracow while studying theology and music, before moving to the UK.
