WELCOME TO ST JOHN’S ANGLICAN CATHEDRAL, BRISBANE
St John’s Cathedral is home to a community which seeks to bring the best of Anglican tradition into dialogue with the issues and needs of our day.
We strive for open-minded conversation, seek to practice inclusion, and reflect on how we might see our beliefs put into action. We want this to be a place where people are encouraged to seek God and progress their own spiritual journeys.
The Cathedral itself, a renowned Brisbane landmark, serves as a magnet, where diverse people gather to worship, celebrate, seek solace, converse and learn.
Peace,
Peter Catt +
Dean of Brisbane

OUR PLACE IN HISTORY:
THE DEANERY’S HERITAGE APPEAL
The National Trust of Australia (Queensland) has listed The Deanery (Adelaide House) – the first Government House when Queensland was created on 10th December 1859. The balcony on which Sir George Bowen read the proclamation that day is in need of a great deal of work to restore it to a stable and safe condition. This means that in the Trust’s view it is essential to Australia’s heritage and must be preserved.
Donations to the National Trust of Australia (Queensland) for this appeal are allowable as deductions for tax purposes.
Find out more on our DEANERY APPEAL page.
Each Friday evening during Lent, at 9pm, the building calmly resounds with the sound of thirty minutes of reflective seasonal choral music. This is followed by the intimate liturgy of Compline, where music and words gently bring the day to a close. Please join us for Nocturnes this year, featuring some of Brisbane’s favourite choral ensembles.

ABM LENT APPEAL
Jesus tells us that the words of Isaiah 61.1, “the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the poor”, have been fulfilled in him (Luke 4:21).
When we support ABM’s Lenten appeal for the Asset-based Community Development Program in the Philippines, we help local churches to lift families out of poverty. ABM’s church partners in the Philippines work closely with local communities to help them understand the potential of their assets in growing small businesses.
Adora, who lives with her family in a remote community in the Eastern Visayas region, benefits from this project by learning how to grow healthy food in her own vegetable garden.
In the spirit of Jesus’ example of caring for bodies as well as souls, can we give at least $1,000 in support of this
ABM Appeal to help local churches in the Philippines to lift families out of poverty?
Donations (over $2) to this Program are tax deductible.
Please place your donation in an ABM Outreach envelope, and put it in the collection, in the Donations box or give it to a Warden.
If you wish to receive a receipt for tax purposes, please write your name and address on the back of the envelope. Thank you.
