Worship

The Cathedral opened for public worship on Sunday 12 July. Read more

There will continue to be an online service each Sunday, and clergy will continue to observe daily prayers.

You will find details here:

• Cathedral services

• Other online resources for prayer and worship

• Light a candle
  We know that many people like to light a candle in the Cathedral when they visit as a sign of their prayer. You can now do this online through our Virtual Prayer Wall.
  
  If you would like to remember someone who has died as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, you can do so via the online Book of National Book of Remembrance hosted by St Paul's Cathedral.

• Prayer walk at home
  Sue Moore from St Mary's Peterborough has put together a prayer walk from home, which can be found here.

Learning

Our knowledgeable volunteer guides have written twice weekly blog posts, from April to June, about about various aspects of the Cathedal's fascinating history. You can read the blog here: Tales from Tour Guides.

• Learning some strategies for looking after our mental health during the pandemic can be a great help in these challenging times. There is some helpful guidance from Rehab4Addiction here: Coronavirus: Guidance for Better Mental Health.

Hospitality

The Cathedral is now open to visitors, Monday to Saturday, 10.00am to 4.00pm, and 12.00 noon to 4.00pm on Sundays. Guidance on what to expect is here: Current Visiting Guidelines.
