New Organ and Gallery
The next phase of redevelopment work in the Cathedral has started. The work includes the
construction of a new gallery and the installation of a new pipe organ at the west end of the building. The whole
project is likely to take up to thirty weeks in total. Inevitably, there will be some disruption during this
period, which will affect the usual opening times, regular weekday Masses and Confessions.
From Tuesday 8 May, and until further notice, the Cathedral will be closed apart from the following exceptions:
- The Cathedral will be open as usual on Sundays for Masses at 8.00am, 10.00am, 11.30am & 6.30pm.
- Monday - Friday the Cathedral will open at 11.50am for Mass at 12.05pm and will close again immediately after
Mass. Please note there will be no weekday 8.00am Mass until further notice.
- On Saturdays & Public Holidays Mass will be at 10.00am.
- Confessions: During the redevelopment work the Confessionals at the back of church will not be usable.
However, there will be the opportunity for Confessions (in the area near to the Baptismal Font) after the
Saturday 10.00am Mass only.
- The Cathedral Office and Pauline Books & Media will be open as usual. The Cloister Café is open
is open 9.30am - 2.30pm each day
The proposed plans and designs can be found here. The
architect for this exciting and much anticipated project is
Kevin Doonanand the organ builder is
Kenneth Tickell.
