Worship
Reverent, beautiful, and rooted in tradition.
Worship at St George's is offered in the best ‘High Church’ traditions of the Church of Ireland — sacramental, sung, and unhurried.
“In the beauty of holiness, week by week, we keep the round of prayer that has been kept on this spot for seven centuries.”
Sundays
9.30am
Said Eucharist
A quiet, said celebration in the Book of Common Prayer (1926).
11.00am
Choral Eucharist
Sung Mass with sermon. The Parish Choir leads music drawn from the great Anglican choral tradition.
5.00pm
Choral Evensong
The cathedral office of evening prayer, sung by the choirs of St George's. On the fourth Sunday of the month the evening service is instead a Eucharist (BCP); when a month has a fifth Sunday, the evening office is Compline.
The choirs keep July and August as their summer break; during those months the liturgy is said, and visiting choirs are often welcomed to sing.

What to expect
St George’s worships in the Anglo-Catholic tradition: vested ministers, candles, incense on principal feasts, and sung liturgy. Whatever your background — lifelong Anglican, returning, exploring, or simply curious — you are warmly welcome.
Service booklets are provided. There is no expectation of dress; those who would like to receive Holy Communion are invited to do so, and any who would prefer a blessing are welcome to come forward with their hands behind their back.
Tea, coffee, and conversation follow the 11.00am Sunday Eucharist. We’d love to meet you.
