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 May
“Truth,” said a traveller,
“Is a breath, a wind,
“A shadow, a phantom;
“Long have I pursued it,
“But never have I touched
“The hem of its garment.” (Stephen Crane, Truth, said a traveller)
This month is still the Easter season, though we draw closer to Pentecost and the coming of the Holy Spirit. The 50 Days of Easter remind us that resurrection takes time - time to emerge, and even more time to believe. Do any of us really believe in the power of resurrection? What difference might it make to our lives if we live as resurrection people?
Our May Eucharist will follow our quarterly reflection and meal, on Sunday 3 May at 4pm. Afternoon will precede the service as usual. Details about the reflection time can be found on our events page.
