Southwark Cathedral Services
The Bishop of Southwar's Lent Call
Click here to access information and resources about the Bishop's Lent Call on the Diocese website.
This special service provides a wonderful opportunity for pupils and staff in our diocesan family to gather together and worship in their Cathedral.
The Bishop's Lent Call for 2025 raised funds for projects that help children and young people recover from trauma and which encourage their mental wellbeing.
Year 6 Leavers' Services
We hold Leavers Services for Year 6 pupils attending our primary schools. The services are a chance to join with other Year 6s from the diocesan Church School family to give thanks to God for their time in their Church of England primary school and to ask God to travel with them as they move onto secondary school and beyond.
Each year, a new theme is chosen for our Leavers Services. In the past we have had 'Valuing the Gifts of Every Person' and 'Belonging'.
Our services are well supported by the Cathedral Chapter and our bishops. More than 2000 pupils attend from over 50 schools.
Each child is given a Leavers’ Service bookmark with a special prayer written for the occasion.
Artwork featured on the bookmark is a result of the winning submission for the Year 6 Leavers' Art Competion that schools are invited to take part in.
