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.
For details of special events and concerts at the Cathedral please see the WHAT’S ON page. You may find information about our regular worship times on the SERVICES page.
Peace,
Peter Catt +
Dean of Brisbane

THE CATHEDRAL and DEANERY HERITAGE APPEALS
The National Trust of Australia (Queensland) has listed The Cathedral and The Deanery (Adelaide House) because of their significance to the heritage of Queensland and Australia more broadly. Adelaide House was the first Government House when Queensland was created on 10th December 1859. The balcony on which Sir George Bowen read the proclamation that day has been the subject of a great deal of work to restore it to a stable and safe condition. The cathedral is the only stone-vaulted church in the Southern hemisphere and is highly regarded as a sublime example of neo-gothic architecture. Donations to the Cathedral fund are used to enhance and presence the fabric of the magnificent building.
Donations to the National Trust of Australia (Queensland) for these appeals are allowable as deductions for tax purposes.
Find out more on our DEANERY APPEAL page.
Welcome. “On the Way” is a series of recorded conversations (podcasts) exploring the deeper mysteries of faith, meaning, and beauty that people from all over the world are able to listen to on their smartphone or computer.
The podcast invites others who are also “on the way” into conversation; seeking a transformative spirituality and inclusive faith that speaks to real issues of today. Together in dialogue and storytelling we seek to make meaning and articulate a Christianity that expresses the liberating and life-giving message of the Gospel in our time.
Links to the published podcasts may be found at here. Note that these are hosted externally by Omny Studio and will open in a new browser tab.
You can also download all the podcasts from the iTunes store, or using your preferred podcast App, including Android. Search by the names “On the Way” or “St John’s Cathedral” and subscribe for free to receive these great conversations straight to your device every month! CDs are also available for those who are unable to access the podcasts online and these are available on the Literature Table in the Cathedral.
To find out more, contact the Cathedral Office by email or phone 3835 2222 during business hours.

March Outreach
ABM Lent Appeal 2026
Give Water, Give Life
The Anglican Board of Mission is the national mission agency for the Anglican Church in Australia. It is the channel through which Australian Anglicans participate in mission, both here and overseas. Anglicans in Development (AID) is wholly-owned by ABM, and operates ABM’s Sustainable Communities program, working with church partners to deliver grassroots, community led and driven development, and disaster preparedness and response.
This year ABM’s Lent appeal is “Give Water, Give Life”.

Kenya: “Prior to the well being built, Margaret needed to walk long distances to collect water from an unreliable source. Now, she saves precious time and energy with water closer at hand”. (ADSE © from ABM resources. Used with permission)
ABM believe that local communities are best-placed to know what programs they want and what assistance they need from our Anglican church partners. Partners are encouraged to work closely with communities to ensure communities are “in the driving seat” of development work.
The philosophy of a strengths-based approach facilitates development that is inclusive, encourages participation, empowers women, and fosters positive and sustainable change.
Give Water, Give Life Projects
Did you know that, around the world:
● 1 in 3 people do not have access to safe drinking water;
● 1.5 billion people do not have their own toilet;
● In 80% of water deprived households, women and girls carry the burden of water collection?
This Lent, your generosity can bring the lifegiving gift of clean water, safe toilets and essential sanitation facilities to people who need them.
In Kenya, local partners construct sand dams, wells and water tanks, bringing reliable water access to arid regions and easing the daily burden felt by women and girls.
In Myanmar, communities are developing water systems, taps and toilets, reducing illness and eliminating long exhausting walks for unsafe water.
In Vanuatu, local partners build model toilets to improve dignity and health outcomes for the most vulnerable.
You can read more stories about these programs in the SJC Weekly News emails 1 during Lent.
Can we raise at least $1,500 for the ABM Lent Appeal?
