Worship Sermons

Sermons

The preaching of the Word of God is a significant feature of all of the Cathedral’s main services, especially on Sundays. Most of the sermons are preached by the resident clergy of the Cathedral but we also welcome the bishops of the Diocese and guest preachers — both lay and ordained — from near and far.
