The Metropolitan Cathedral of the Sacred Heart and of Saint Mary His Mother, better known as Sacred Heart Cathedral, is a Roman Catholic cathedral on Hill Street, Wellington, New Zealand. It is the parish church of the Thorndon Catholic parish (founded 1850) and the Cathedral of the Archbishop of Wellington. The New Zealand Parliament is a close neighbour of the Cathedral. However, the Thorndon Catholic parish predates that institution. The Cathedral is part of a Catholic precinct which includes St Mary's College, Sacred Heart Cathedral School, St Mary's Convent – the motherhouse of the Sisters of Mercy in Wellington, the Catholic Centre in which Catholic administration is located, and Viard House which is both the Cathedral parish Presbytery and the residence of the Archbishop. The church was popularly known as "the Basilica", because of its palladian architectural style.〔In Roman Catholic ecclesiastical terms, Sacred Heart Cathedral is not a Minor basilica. See: (List of minor basilicas in the world. )〕 It was designated as the Cathedral of Wellington in 1984 after earthquake strengthening and the addition of the Blessed Sacrament chapel, foyer, sacristy, courtyard, hall (called Connolly Hall) and piazza. The parish of Thorndon was administered by the Society of Mary or Marist fathers for eighty-five years until 1935,〔Charles Fearnley, p. 149〕 although secular or diocesan clergy were also stationed there.〔Dan Kelly, p. 162.〕 Thorndon has always been the residence of the Archbishops of Wellington except for the period 1935–1954 when Archbishop O'Shea continued to live at Patterson St, Mt Victoria which was his address as coadjutor. The founder of the see, Bishop Viard, and the first two Archbishops, Redwood and O'Shea, were also members of the Society of Mary. Since 1954 all the Archbishops and the resident clergy of the Cathedral have been secular clergy.〔 ==Sacraments== The normal Mass times are: * Weekdays: 8.00am and 12.10pm * Saturday: 8.30am and (Vigil or anticipated Mass for Sunday) 5.30 pm. * Sunday: 10.30am and 7.00pm * Sunday: 9:00am (St Mary of the Angels Parish Mass while that church is closed for earthquake strengthening) Confessions: before 12.10 pm weekday Masses or by arrangement.〔("Service times", ''Sacred Heart Cathedral'' ) (Retrieved 26 November 2014)〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sacred Heart Cathedral, Wellington」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
