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 June
“For she is the Spirit, one with God in essence,
Gifted by the Saviour in eternal love;
She is the key opening the scriptures,
Enemy of apathy and heavenly dove.

We enter the Pentecost season, full of anticipation at what the Spirit may bring us, as individuals and as a community. The Spirit brings hope, insight, unity: all qualities we yearn for, and which we cannot produce on our own. We wait with the disciples for the breath of God upon us.
Our June Eucharist will be held at St Colomb’s from 4pm on Sunday 7 June. Join us for afternoon tea beforehand from 3pm
