People are invited to nominate a patronal name, and offer a brief explanation why, between now and 9th June.

A short-list will then emerge and be shared with people of the Diocese asking for further consideration and a selection of 3 options before Bishop Michael discerns the name, which he will announce in late July.

Visit www.cdoc.nz to read the pastoral letter and guidelines and submit your nomination for a preferred name of our new cathedral.
