Services
At the heart of St Machar’s Cathedral is the weekly pattern of prayer and worship. With regular services twice every Sunday, the liturgical calendar gives the structure to celebrate and worship God as has happened on this site for over 1400 years.
As a visitor we trust that you will find in this community that mercy, love and humility, which are marks of the body of Christ, the people of the beatitudes.
Holy communion is celebrated twice monthly, on the last Sunday of every month at
11am, and on the first
Sunday of every month at 6pm.
During the morning service a Creche welcomes children up to the age of five years

The Sunday School for young people between 5 and 13 starts off together with the adult service at 11am. After an address and the day’s reading the children then go to their service in the Gatehouse. They return to the cathedral for the end of the adult service.
Coffee and tea are served after all services except during Holy Week. On Sunday morning this is served in the West End and in the evening in the Gatehouse.

Christmas Eve at 6 pm the Christingle Service for children, their parents and grandparents
Christmas Eve at 11 pm the Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols
