Wellington Cathedral of St Paul, New Zealand
After visiting New Zealand Parliament house, we headed towards the Wellington cathedral of St. Paul. The Sunday service had just finished so we were allowed to go inside and admire the church's interior designs. The people were very friendly and allowed us to film and also provided some information.
The information below is from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Wellington Cathedral of St Paul is the cathedral church of the Anglican Diocese of Wellington, New Zealand and the seat of its bishop of Wellington.
Construction began in 1955, and was completed in 1998. It was constructed in reinforced concrete due to the effects of the 1931 Napier earthquake, making other choices impractical. It began functioning as a cathedral in 1964.
The wooden Lady Chapel is on the north side of the cathedral. The Lady Chapel was moved to Wellington Cathedral from its original site in Paraparaumu in 1990.

Wellington Cathedral of St Paul organ - earthquake fundraising
Please visit Boosted if you would like to help us with our fundraising effort -
Just after midnight on Monday 14 November, a 7.8 earthquake hit near Culverden in North Canterbury, New Zealand. We pray for those who have been affected by this quake.
The Wellington Cathedral of St Paul sustained minimal damage from the earthquake, with the unfortunate exception of the organ. Several of the large pedal pipes came adrift, falling both out into the choir stalls as well as into the pipe chamber itself, causing substantial damage to many of the 3,531 pipes, and to the supporting structure of the organ.
The organ plays a significant role in the worshipping life of the Cathedral and the cultural life of the city. The Cathedral’s Music Department is based on an English Cathedral model of quality sacred choral music - the organ is a crucial part of its success. Our choirs include the children’s choir (for 5-8 year olds), the cathedral choristers (8-14 year olds), St Paul’s Chorale (an adult supporting choir) and the main adult cathedral choir. All four choirs use the organ as their main accompanying instrument.
It has been performed on by many of the world’s leading concert organists, including Olivier Latry, David Briggs and Colin Walsh. In the absence of the organ in the Wellington Town Hall (removed in 2013 due to the Town Hall being deemed an earthquake risk) the Cathedral organ is the largest and most substantial in the city. Last year the Cathedral’s organists Michael Stewart and Richard Apperley presented the complete organ works of Johann Sebastian Bach (‘The Bach Project’), and have just had to make the decision to cancel an upcoming festival celebrating the organ works of Olivier Messiaen.
The organ plays a central role in the Wellington community, and is used by many local choirs and for free public recitals. In the week prior to the earthquake, the organ was used to accompany both a CD recording by a local primary school, and a concert in the Cathedral undertaken by the Orpheus Choir of Wellington. It is regularly used for large civic services and diocesan occasions.
The cathedral also provides one of the most active organ tuition programmes in the country, as well as providing education outreach programmes have drawn children in from hundreds of kilometers away as well as local school classes. There is no other comparable instrument in the city for this kind of education.
The damage to the organ is such that we expect to have to store and assess all the pipework, dispose of the damaged structure, and either rebuild or replace the organ, all of which presents us with enormous expense. Since the terrible Christchurch earthquakes of 2011, none of the Anglican churches in New Zealand are insurable for earthquake damage, so any construction costs will be borne entirely by the Cathedral.
