Welcome …
Rockhampton Anglican Cathedral is one of the jewels of Central Queensland and has a lively story to tell, the greatest of which is the good news of Jesus.
It may not be the best-known Gothic Cathedral in Australia, it is certainly not the biggest, but it delights its many residents and visitors alike.
But a Cathedral is more than the building, it’s a place of teaching the Word of God, of connecting as a community, of celebration, creativity and care.
St Paul’s has been, and continues to be, a sign of God’s presence and mission in the community of Rockhampton, in times of affluence and in times of pain and crisis.
Enjoy the beauty of the Cathedral and its precinct and be part of the story of what God is doing with and through the Church in Rockhampton.
Come connect, or re-connect, with St Paul’s,
Your Cathedral.
Ross Nicholson,
Dean, St Paul’s Cathedral
“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”
Worship.
St Paul’s is a house of preaching and prayer, supported by its dignified, warm and pleasant interior. The Communion Table, once held against the East Wall, stands more centrally placed within the congregation, proclaiming to God’s people a familial and community perspective of worship. The high stepped stone pulpit emphasizes the priority of God’s Word in our liturgy. For, before God, all are united in the service, adoration and proclamation of Jesus Christ as the Saviour of the world.
Sundays:
7:30am Holy Eucharist
9:30am Family Service (Holy Communion on the first and fourth Sunday of the month; Morning Prayer on other Sundays)

Welcome.
Your church.
St Paul’s is the Mother Church of the Anglican Diocese of Rockhampton in Central Queensland. The Cathedral is a sandstone building which was re-roofed in 2016. The large front stained-glass Rose Window was restored in 2016. All the windows in the Cathedral are stained glass.
The Bell Tower
At the rear of the Cathedral is the bell tower, which has recently been re-roofed and painted. It is in the process of having the bell mechanism restored.
The Pipe Organ
The present organ was built in 1965 by J W Walker & Sons Ltd (London) and installed in the Cathedral in 1966. The organ case is on a raised platform beneath the Rose Window at the West end of the Cathedral with the console at a lower level. The organ is in very good condition and is serviced on a regular basis by a Brisbane based organ builder. Repair and maintenance costs are paid out of our ongoing organ restoration fund.
