A very merry Christmas to all, from everyone here at Salisbury Cathedral

Join us for Midnight Mass, as we celebrate the start of Christmas by sharing communion and hearing the Christmas Gospel. With carols and beautiful music from the Cathedral Choir and organ, this is the perfect way to welcome in Christmas Day. 📅 24 December 🕚 11pm

All are welcome to our Christmas services 🕯️

In the aftermath of the violent terror attack on Bondi we stand in solidarity with our Jewish brothers and sisters as they celebrate Hanukkah. We hold in our hearts all who are grieving and all who are fearful and pray for justice, peace, and reconciliation.
