What we do
Sunday 1pm to 2:30pm start : “Sepas”. A weekly meeting of prayer, praise and Bible teaching (translated into Farsi). Held usually in the Lady Chapel.
Monday. We hold various sessions for people looking into baptism, confirmation and exploring their faith on a Monday.

What happens at a morning / said evening Prayer service?
Every morning and evening the Cathedral holds a time of prayer, in common with Christians across the world, giving thanks to God for the day to come, and the day that is past, and reading passages of the Bible that help us focus on who God is, revealed in Christ. The service of Evensong is a sung version of Evening Prayer, and one of the most distinctive and beautiful parts of the Cathedral’s worship, the choir singing psalms, the ancient hymns of Israel, and the songs sung by some of the characters involved in the life of Christ, most notably his mother, Mary.
Why is prayer important?
To pray is to turn to God, who is the most important reality and person we can know. Prayer is communication with God, being with God, it can involve asking God for the things we need, and just being still and filled with wonder, or in times of sadness, sitting with the One who loves us more than we can comprehend.
Prayer for healing
Every day we pray for healing, for those who are sick, and for the world in its brokenness. We never know how God will answer our prayers, but we trust that they are heard and precious in God’s sight.
Prayer for strength
God is described in the Bible as our rock, a strong tower, our place of refuge, and our defense. Perhaps the shortest prayer in the Bible was St Peter’s as he was drowning, ‘Lord, save me!’ Through Christ God is with us, and has promised that not even death can separate us from his love.

Eucharist (BCP)
2026-04-10 12:05 - 13:00 | Lady Chapel
A simple service of holy communion using the Book of Common Prayer (BCP)
All are welcome to join us at Liverpool Cathedral for this Eucharist service.
The Book of Common Prayer (BCP) is the classic service book of the Anglican Church. Its first edition was published in 1549 and, after revisions in 1552, 1559, 1604 and 1637 it arrived in its standard form in 1662. It helped establish the balance between the Catholic and Reformed elements of Anglican theology and doctrine. For over three hundred years, almost every service in Anglican churches around the world used the Prayer Book and it remains in use in many churches even today.
The Prayer Book is most loved for the rich beauty of its language which sounds grand and poetic in almost every sentence. It has nurtured the faith of millions and is a great treasure of the church. Every Friday, at 12:05pm, we have a service of Holy Communion according to the Prayer Book’s order. We use the collects in their original form and the sequence of readings is from the King James Bible. There are a few (authorised) variations from the standard text. Devotees of the Prayer Book will recognise what we mean by using the summary of the law in place of the commandments at the beginning of the service. Otherwise it is pure 1662. Normally there is no sermon.
