St Albans Cathedral is uniquely enriched by its ecumenical partnerships in hosting services of different Christian denominations, each led by our ecumenical chaplains. This comes from our vision of welcoming all as Christ stemming from the rule of St Benedict on which this Abbey was founded, and shown by St Alban himself in welcoming a Christian priest into his home.

All are welcome to attend these services - you can find the dates and times of each service on our Service and Music list.
