for 1 hour
Christ Church Cathedral
St Aldate's Oxford, OX1 1DP, United Kingdom

We mark the first Sunday in Advent with a sung service of Choral Matins, the first as part of our Advent and Christmas Worship since 2019. This service also includes the traditional University Sermon for Advent Sunday, preached by The Right Reverend Mark Tanner, Bishop of Chester and a member of the House. Our Choral Eucharist for the First Sunday in Advent will take place afterwards at 11.05am, following which refreshments will be served in the Cathedral. You are very welcome to join us for one or both services.

Christ Church Cathedral

As Oxford's Cathedral, Christ Church is an ancient place of living faith and welcome in the heart of our city, which also hosts a wide range of concerts and events. From our roots as the Saxon religious community of St Frideswide established 1300 years ago, to the unique single foundation of Anglican cathedral and Oxford University College we are today, our story has been centuries in the making. Come and be a part of it!

Safeguarding

Christ Church is a place of worship, pilgrimage, sanctuary, and activity, and it should be a safe place for all. Safeguarding forms part of our everyday working practice and is the responsibility of everyone at Christ Church Cathedral. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies, as well as our own (which can be viewed at the link below).

The Cathedral Safeguarding Team is: Fiona Sidorowicz (Cathedral Safeguarding Officer), The Revd Charlie Kerr (Associate Cathedral Safeguarding Officer and Priest Vicar for Education and Pilgrimage), and Matthew Dickins (Associate Cathedral Safeguarding Officer and Chapter Clerk).
