The Diocese of London

St Paul's is first and foremost the Cathedral for the Diocese of London.

It's good to welcome groups from the parishes across London and we hope this message might serve as an invitation to individuals, parishes, schools, other organisations in the Diocese to come and see something of the life of St Paul's. We hope every visit will provide an introduction to the rich heritage of faith and worship that we have here.

There are several ways in which you can visit us as a pilgrim. First of all, you may wish to join us at one of the services on or near the day in which we pray for you in the Diocesan Cycle of Prayer. If you plan to be present at Choral Evensong, please let us know so that we can welcome you publicly.

At Evensong (normally sung at 5pm, but please check alterations to that in advance) it is possible that: clergy and readers may robe and may wish to read a lesson; you may wish to bring a parish banner and walk in the procession; children, youth groups, servers, etc may also wish to take a special part in the service

You are also very welcome to bring a specialist group, preparing for confirmation, for example. We have some facilities we can offer from our Schools & Families Department for that, and clergy here are available to help in any way we can.

It is also possible for you to make the pilgrimage as a parish group and to celebrate the Eucharist in the Cathedral. We are happy to respond to any requests for space and time for you to worship in your own distinctive way.

It is your Cathedral | You are welcome.
