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

OUTREACH – JUNE 2018
Australian Churches Refugee Taskforce
“Dignity NOT Destitution” campaign
The Australian Churches Refugee Taskforce is the church’s voice for justice and compassion for refugees and people seeking asylum. Under this collaborative Christian banner, the ACRT brings a strong moral voice to a hostile debate fuelled by divisive political rhetoric and constantly-changing policies.
One of those changing policies has created the current most urgent need – support for the ACRT Dignity NOT Destitution campaign, founded on the belief that no person lawfully residing in Australia should be forced into destitution through the removal of access to financial and housing supports.
From Monday 18th June (significantly, the start of Refugee Week 2018) thousands of vulnerable people – including families with children – will lose access to core services and financial support because of changes to the Status Resolution Support Services. (The SRSS is a regular payment to help with basic living costs for asylum-seekers living in Australia whilst waiting for a decision about their immigration status.)
Can we help the ACRT Dignity NOT Destitution campaign to support asylum-seekers and refugees who have had their financial, health and counselling support services reduced?
June Outreach envelopes are available at the Outreach Boards in the Narthex and St Martin’s House.

We welcome your warm support of those who are doing it tough, sleeping rough or who are otherwise in need this winter.
Please deliver your donations to St Martin’s House reception at 373 Ann Street during office hours.
TAX-DEDUCTIBLE SUPPORT FOR OUR CHORAL MUSIC TRUST
St John’s Cathedral has a Choral Music Trust account which was established to build a fund to support the considerable annual costs of Choral Music at the Cathedral.
(The cost of supporting the scholarships of the Trebles (boy choristers) is shared between Churchie and St John’s Cathedral. The (adult) Lay Clerks in the Cathedral Choir receive an honorarium from the Cathedral.)
Do you enjoy the music our choirs share within the liturgies?
Our Choral Music Trust invites you to consider a donation to the Trust on a one-off or regular basis. Maybe you might like to contribute to the Trust to support
one of the singers?
If you would like to explore the possibilities, or make a pre-End-of-Financial Year donation, please email Cathedral Warden
Dr Helen Lancaster at: wardens@stjohnscathedral.com.au
Donations of $2 or more to the Choral Music Trust are tax-deductible.
