CATHEDRAL HOSTS / GUIDES

We are currently in the peak tourist

season and have the pleasure of wel-

coming visitors from all around the

world. Thanks to our parishioners who

offer their time to act as hosts and

guides to the many tourists who pop

in ... if anyone is available to offer a

few hours, please contact the Office -

Alison would love to hear from you.

Our Visitors’ Book has been signed by

folk from all corners of the globe ...

including all states of Australia, Eng-

land, Scotland, Germany (Dresden, Nu-

renberg, Stuttgart), Canada, Ghana,

and this week, a visit from the Mayor

of the City of Helsinki, Finland.

On Friday, we heard the sad news of

the death of Brian Grouden this week

in Wellington.

Brian was the artist who created the

Cathedral’s sanctuary hanging cross

which is such a focal point in our Ca-

thedral, and an intriguing feature for

our visitors.

Brian will no doubt be remembered by

many parishioners - Margaret has fami-

ly contact details in the Office if any-

one wishes to make contact to offer

condolences.

May he rest in peace and rise in glory.
