Congregations across the world celebrated the role of seafarers
and gave thanks for their hard work as they joined together in marking Sea Sunday.

Sea Sunday is a day set aside in the Church’s calendar to remember seafarers and to pray for them, their families and those that serve them. It is a thanksgiving day for all that seafarers do in transporting the world’s goods. The Day began in 1975 when the three main Christian maritime missionary societies – The Mission to Seafarers (Anglican), the Apostleship of the Sea (Roman Catholic) and the Sailors’ Society (Free Church) decided there should be a day in which the contributions of seafarers to the country were recognised. Sea Sunday has gone on to become an international day with services, parades and ship blessings.

Sea Sundaywas held on 10th July 2011 in Auckland with an ecumenical service at the Anglican Cathedral in Parnell. Archdeacon J Marcon brought the address. Read it here.
