From the Bishop

A special welcome to visitors to our city. May your time here in Auckland include a visit to our beautiful and historic Cathedral. We are located in Wyndham Street just up from Queen Street, one block seawards of the Sky Tower.

I also take this opportunity to welcome you to the website of the Cathedral of St. Patrick and St. Joseph. There has been a church on the Wyndham Street site since 1842, so we've been in downtown Auckland since the very beginning of our city. Over the decades the Cathedral has been a place of welcome and celebration, to locals and visitors alike.
The Cathedral reopened in 2007 after being closed for nearly two years for major restoration and conservation work. It is a very special place; a wonderful place of worship that the Catholics of Auckland can be proud of. It is a sacred place where all are welcome to visit, pray and experience peace.
A place of prayer. God's house. An icon of Christ. Our Mother Church. Bishop Patrick Dunn

Welcome to the Cathedral

Happy New Year you, may 2012 be a time of blessing.
Welcome to St Patrick's Cathedral. St Pat's is located in downtown Auckland, at the heart of New Zealand's largest city. Each week thousands come to pray, enjoy a moment's peace or to participate in the many liturgies that are a part of the life of this vibrant church. Our history goes back to the founding of the city and generations of Aucklanders, as well as visitors from all parts of the globe, have a sense of this being a very special, sacred space. Indeed, God has 'pitched his tent' here and he is here to stay!

Blessings
Monsignor Bernard Kiely
