Spirituality Community & Service

Preparing a place for God, first in our hearts, and then in the world in which we live.

The Society of the Sacred Advent (SSA) has been working with women and girls in Queensland for over 125 years. Join us as we enter a new stage of community life and continue the tradition of spirituality and loving service.

“In making a place for God in our hearts and in the world in which we live, we (the SSA) are striving to do the work of creating what we might called sacred spaciousness for ourselves, so that we can model that for others and invite them into that space. Then in that space, where we hope to meet with God and hear Christ’s voice, we trust we will discover just what kinds of service we are being called to. And we help others find their call also, as they join with us in our work.”

Sr Gillian Moses SSA, homily for Religious Life Sunday 2025

Worship with us this month

All Souls’ Day is a day of commemoration of the faithful departed. A day in which family and friends from various denominations of the Christian Family gather for prayer and remembrance. They clean the graves of their loved ones, and place candles, flowers, incense and generally beautify their final resting places. Special Eucharists are often held to remember the lives of those at rest.

All Soul’s Day is the third day of Allhallowtide, being All Hallow’s Eve on October 31st, All Saint’s Day on November 1st, and All Soul’s Day on November 2nd. As is traditional with All Souls services, we will include a Commemoration of the Faithful Departed.

Our monthly Eucharist is held on the 1st Sunday of each month, at St Colomb’s Anglican Church, 23 Victoria Street Clayfield.

Afternoon tea from 3.15pm, Eucharist at 4pm.
