St John’s Cathedral is home to a community which seeks to bring the best of Anglican tradition into dialogue with the issues and needs of our day.
We strive for open-minded conversation, seek to practice inclusion, and reflect on how we might see our beliefs put into action. We want this to be a place where people are encouraged to seek God and progress their own spiritual journeys.
The Cathedral itself, a renowned Brisbane landmark, serves as a magnet, where diverse people gather to worship, celebrate, seek solace, converse and learn.
For details of special events and concerts at the Cathedral please see the WHAT’S ON page. You may find information about our regular worship times on the SERVICES page..
Peace,
Peter Catt +
Dean of Brisbane

THE CATHEDRAL and DEANERY HERITAGE APPEALS
The National Trust of Australia (Queensland) has listed The Cathedral and The Deanery (Adelaide House) because of their significance to the heritage of Queensland and Australia more broadly. Adelaide House was the first Government House when Queensland was created on 10th December 1859. The balcony on which Sir George Bowen read the proclamation that day has been the subject of a great deal of work to restore it to a stable and safe condition. The cathedral is the only stone-vaulted church in the Southern hemisphere and is highly regarded as a sublime example of neo-gothic architecture. Donations to the Cathedral fund are used to enhance and presence the fabric of the magnificent building.
Donations to the National Trust of Australia (Queensland) for these appeals are allowable as deductions for tax purposes.
Find out more on our DEANERY APPEAL page.
Welcome. “On the Way” is a series of recorded conversations (podcasts) exploring the deeper mysteries of faith, meaning, and beauty that people from all over the world are able to listen to on their smartphone or computer.
The podcast invites others who are also “on the way” into conversation; seeking a transformative spirituality and inclusive faith that speaks to real issues of today. Together in dialogue and storytelling we seek to make meaning and articulate a Christianity that expresses the liberating and life-giving message of the Gospel in our time.
Links to the published podcasts may be found at here. Note that these are hosted externally by Omny Studio and will open in a new browser tab.
You can also download all the podcasts from the iTunes store, or using your preferred podcast App, including Android. Search by the names “On the Way” or “St John’s Cathedral” and subscribe for free to receive these great conversations straight to your device every month! CDs are also available for those who are unable to access the podcasts online and these are available on the Literature Table in the Cathedral.
To find out more, contact the Cathedral Office by email or phone 3835 2222 during business hours.

June Outreach
love had no borders
The Romero Centre
Named after Archbishop Oscar Romero from El Salvador, The Romero Centre was established in 2000 in response to the needs of people arriving in Australia seeking safety and human rights.
What do they do?
Inspired by the mission of Oscar Romero and a deep respect for the human sovereign soul, the Romero Centre aspires to support the most vulnerable people in our community.
- They recognise that community harmony, cohesion and respect are the true foundations for real safety.
- They walk the path where human dignity is considered sacred and where love has no borders.
- They aim to strengthen the fabric of our deeply cherished local community by supporting the men, women and families who have been subject to experiences of torture, war, violence, sexual violence, and oppression and who are struggling while seeking refuge in Australia.
Click for more
How do they do this?
They provide practical support to people seeking asylum who are living in South East Queensland with limited or no resources. The Romero Centre provides health and hygiene packages, food essentials and support with accommodation.
There is a growing need for supplies for families with children.
The Romero centre provides free English classes to assist those who need to develop and strengthen English skills. This facilitates further engagement with community, employment and with schooling.
The legal process and expertise is expensive but a vital service that helps with the complicated application requirements for temporary visas. Simple errors and misunderstandings can often result in visa applications being delayed or rejected. The qualified team at The Romero centre provides support and access to migration agents and referral pathways to lawyers.
The Romero Centre is almost entirely dependent on donations from individuals, schools, faith organisations, foundations, and businesses. With our donations The Centre is able to ensure the most vulnerable individuals and families, who are still pleading for humanitarian safety, will be able to build their ‘safe haven’ in Australia.
Can we raise at least $1,500 for The Romero Centre?
Donations of $2 or more to The Romero Centre are tax deductible. You’ll find Outreach Envelopes for June at the Outreach Board. Please: give your Outreach Envelope with your offering, into the Donations Box, to a cathedral warden, or to the Cathedral Office Monday-Friday.
Using electronic banking: BSB 034 003 Account No: 385378; (narrate your deposit “Outreach 6)” and email outreach@stjohnscathedral.com.au so we can include your donation in the monthly total. For both cash and bank transfers, please provide your postal/email details if you want a receipt. Receipts will be issued by The Romero Centre, probably during July-August. Cheques: payable to ‘The Romero Centre’. For other payments, please phone the cathedral office [(07) 3835 2222] during business hours Monday-Friday.
Receipts will be provided as requested by Trinity Pantry, probably around early to mid-July.
Thank you.
