25.01.2022 Some of our Masses are regularly reaching capacity so it's really important that you make a booking if you are coming to one of our weekend Masses. It will be awful if we have to turn people away. We now have a TryBooking account. Here is the Sandy Bay link https://www.trybooking.com/book/event?eid=663019& and here is the Taroona link https://www.trybooking.com/book/event?eid=663048&

15.01.2022 Each year as we prepare to enter Advent, that most beautiful season of hope and promise, this little verse from Jan Richardson is etched on our FB page and in o...ur hearts... "The season of Advent means there is something on the horizon the likes of which we have never seen before. It is not possible to keep it from coming, because it will. That's just how Advent works. What is possible is not to see it, to miss it, to turn just as it brushes past you. And you begin to grasp what it was you missed, like Moses in the cleft of the rock, watching God's hindquarters fade in the distance. So stay. Sit. Linger. Tarry. Ponder. Wait. Behold. Wonder. There will be time enough for running. For rushing. For worrying. For pushing. For now, stay. Wait. Something is on the horizon." ~ from Night Visions by Jan Richardson Blessings on this vigil of Advent...let us pray for one another that we will be able to "stay", "sit", "wonder" with our Advent horizon.

04.01.2022 Dear God, We celebrate springs returning and the rejuvenation of the natural world. Let us be moved by this vast and gentle insistence that goodness shall r...eturn, that warmth and life shall succeed. Help us to understand our place in this miracle. Let us see that as a bird now builds its nest, bravely, with bits and pieces, so we must build human faith. It is our simple duty; it is the highest art; it is our natural and vital role within the miracle of spring; the creation of faith. Amen ~words (Common Prayer Collection)and image to welcome spring by Michael Leunig See more

02.01.2022 Hallowe'en (Holy Evening) This evening, during Vespers, we will gather in silence in the cloister outside our church. Candles will be lit, holy water poured and... sprinkled, sweet incense will curl its way through the air enveloping our senses, the organ will play and we will process slowly and solemnly into the church. Thus begins a holy time in our Church's year, a liminal time, a time when we enter into what the Celts call "a thin place", when the veil between heaven and earth is very thin. All Hallows Eve, All Saints Day and All Souls Day are the special days when we remember our dead. These are blessed days, days of celebration but also days of deep memory and connection. May we enter into this time, this "thin place" with stillness, reverence, reflection and gratitude. See more
