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.”

Worship with us and All the Saints
All Saints Day, 1 November, is also the date of our annual Commitment Service when new Companions make their commitment to the SSA and existing Companions renew their commitment. This year we will also formally install Sr Jan SSA and Sr Gillian SSA as Leaders of the SSA. Our Visitor, Bishop Murray Harvey, will be our Presider for the occasion.
Our November Eucharist will be held at The Sisters Chapel, Lapraik Street Albion, from 4pm on Sunday 4 October. Join us for afternoon tea beforehand from 3pm.
