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 at Christmas
The Light came down,
Cast the darkness away.
He appeared, a helpless child;
The Light of God came down!
Alleluia!
Song by Josh Garrels
We will not meet for our monthly Eucharist in January, instead taking a sabbath month, honouring the call to find sacred spaciousness in our own lives. We will continue to publish our weekly prayers for those on the SSA mailing list. If you would like to be added to the list please email us at SSAChapter@ssa.qld.edu.au
We look forward to welcoming you to our February Eucharist at St Colomb’s on Sunday 1 February 2026.
