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 in the Season of Holy Women
“There is a line of women extending back to Eve
whose role in shaping history God only could conceive;
and though through endless ages their witness was repressed,
God valued and inspired them through whom the world was blessed.”
