Christmas at the Cathedral

Celebrate Christmas in historic Christ Church Cathedral in downtown Fredericton!

You are warmly welcomed to join us in worship, whether you are a Christian who has worshipped in the Anglican tradition, are of another Christian denomination, another faith entirely or, simply interested in understanding more about what our faith community is all about. There is no dress code, you are free to sit where you wish and to participate as you feel comfortable.

Children are welcome at any time. The 4:00 p.m. Christmas Eve service is a particular favourite of families with young children, and it lasts approximately one hour. An infant changing station is available in one of the washrooms. This service promises a couple of special treats for the Cathedral family – and families – this year. Some of the youngest ones among us will be helping to narrate the Godly-Play-inspired story of Christmas and the Créche. And then some of those same ones will be leading us in song as a newly-formed Youth Choir!

Masks/respirators are available for those who would like them.

Christ Church Cathedral is located at 150 Church Street, Fredericton, New Brunswick. On-street parking is available in our neighbourhood. Several accessible parking spaces are marked and available in the Cathedral driveway. The Cathedral is wheelchair accessible and has an accessible washroom.

Livestreams and recordings available on our YouTube channel.
