Installation of the 106th Archbishop of Canterbury
The Installation of the 106th Archbishop of Canterbury, Sarah Mullally, will take place at Canterbury Cathedral on Wednesday, 25 March 2026, the Feast of the Annunciation.
Historically known as an enthronement, the Installation marks the symbolic start of the Archbishop of Canterbury’s public ministry in the Church of England and across the Anglican Communion. Archbishop Sarah will be installed on the Cathedra (the bishop’s throne) as the Diocesan Bishop of the See of Canterbury, the oldest diocese in the English church. Following this, she will be installed on the St Augustine Cathedra as Primate of All England, which also symbolises her ministry in the Anglican Communion. Rooted in centuries of tradition, the service will look forward with hope in Jesus Christ and celebrate the diversity of the Church of England, the nation, and the Anglican Communion today.
We hope to circulate a video link where you will be able to watch the ceremony online. At St Peter’s Berkhamsted, we will pray for Archbishop Sarah.
