Events at Guildford Cathedral

Join us in the Cathedral today for the Choral Eucharist

From its earliest days, the Church has recognised as its foundation stones those heroes of the faith whose lives have excited others to holiness and have assumed a communion with the Church on earth and the Church in heaven. Celebrating the feast of All Saints' began in the fourth century. At first, it was observed on the Sunday after the feast of Pentecost; this was to link the disciples who received the gift of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, the foundation of the Church, with those who were martyrs, giving their lives as witnesses for the faith. In the eighth century, a pope dedicated a chapel to All Saints at St Peter's in Rome on 1 November. Within a century, this day was observed in England and Ireland as All Saints' Day.

Please either download or print off a copy of the Order of Service and bring it with you. If you are able to, we do encourage you to download the PDF prior to the service, as this helps us to reduce our environmental impact. There will be a few printed copies available for those who do not have internet access.

This service will be live streamed through our YouTube channel. For those members of our congregation who do not wish to appear on the broadcast, please sit to the right hand side of the Nave and our streaming team will do their best to avoid this area.

A copy of the order of service may be downloaded here.
