United in Sorrow, again: a prayer vigil

Dave Moskovitz

The Wellington Abrahamic Council, The Wellington Cathedral of St Paul, and the Religious Diversity Centre invite you to a Prayer Vigil.

In October 2023, we ran a vigil to unite in sorrow for the peoples of the Holy Land engulfed in war. Sadly, the situation is ongoing, and we thought it was time to join together again.

NEW DATE: Thursday 15 May, 6:30pm
Wellington Cathedral of St Paul, 2 Hill Street, Wellington

The event will provide a sacred space for those impacted by violence, to grieve their personal loss, and to give public expression to the grief for all united alongside them. There will be periods of shared silence, music, and meditative reflection.

As this is a peaceful gathering, no flags, banners, symbols or patches, please.

You can download a poster to share with your friends and colleagues.

We hope to see you there.
