Fr Patrick Bridgman

It is a privilege to be here at the Cathedral, home of Sacred Heart Parish, and spiritual home for the Archdiocese of Wellington.

The love and faith of parishioners is an inspiration, and to have come in 2024 as the Cathedral reopened after 6 years of strengthening and refurbishment has been a joy.

Jesus came to serve, not be served, and we as a parish seek to follow his example. With the Cathedral nearly complete, it is the time to look to how we can serve Wellington central and beyond.

Having loved ministering in a variety of parishes and ministries, it is good to now be home here in Thorndon.
