Holy Week 2024
As we enter Holy Week 2024, we would like to invite the whole Cathedral Parish to enter this ‘Sacred Time’ as we journey with Christ in these days ahead through his Passion, Death & Resurrection.
For full details of all the Masses and services during Holy Week, we have created a PDF guide which you can download.
