Seeing things in a new light Monday May 19 2025
... that same artwork now filters the light into the front room of St Mark’s, Golden Square. The welcoming entry space of the church and its baptismal font are now bathed in light seen through Indigenous understanding and culture. This is most fitting given it is in this space that Shannon hosts an art group and safe place attended by Aboriginal elders.

The Engine Room at St Peter’s, Eaglehawk Sunday January 19 2025
Recently St Peters, Eaglehawk created its very own engine room! With the approval of the bishop, part of the sanctuary area (where the organ used to be) has been transformed into a prayer chapel. We want our buildings to reflect what is important for us, and this space will reflect the importance of prayer in the parish. We want to encourage its use before and after church, during the week, for both individuals and small groups. May it be the place where all the hard work and effort is done, often hidden from view but essential for success.
