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 – NOVEMBER 2018
ARCHBISHOP’S ABM APPEAL:
Suppporting Ministry in the Parish of Yarrabah
The Anglican Diocese of North Queensland includes many Aboriginal people in its Diocesan boundaries and therefore includes important ministry with, among and to people with an Aboriginal background.
Yarrabah is an Aboriginal community located about 53km from Cairns. According to the 2016 census, of the 2,559 people who identify as residents of Yarrabah, 97.4% are of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander descent.
The Diocese has an Assistant Bishop who is the Bishop for Aboriginal People and also National Indigenous Bishop in the Anglican Church of Australia.
About three years ago, the Diocese of North Queensland spent considerable funds in restoring the Parish Church at Yarrabah.
The hall has since been refurbished and the toilets upgraded, allowing the Ministry Unit to provide lively and active ministry but more work is required. This is important as the hall is a neutral location for Christian Education and other ministry activities.
The Diocese of North Queensland is seeking $10,000 to reinvigorate the Parish of Yarrabah and to support other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander congregations in desperate need of resources.
Can we give $1,000 to support the Archbishop’s appeal to reinvigorate the Parish of Yarrabah?
