Witnesses to the risen Christ in our midst.

Worshipping God

Attending to the Spirit

Reaching out to all with the love of Christ

Welcome to St Faith’s website.

Daylight saving ends this Sunday morning. Turn your clocks back to gain an extra hour! (Fall back, Spring forward!)

Sunday coming is the sixth in Lent or Sunday of the Passion or Palm Sunday and we will celebrate a Eucharist at 10 am, Those of us who are able may like to process from the corner of Queens and Toorak Rds to the church. We assemble there at 9.45am.

While all government COVID restrictions have been removed, St Faith’s is keen to try to minimize the risk of COVID or ‘flu infection by ensuring that hand sanitizer is still available, masks may still be worn in church, and people can still observe physical distancing by sitting in every alternate pew (not the ones with kneelers at the end.) If you are not feeling well or have COVID symptoms, please get tested and do not attend church until you have isolated for the appropriate time.

If you need to talk about church OR PASTORAL matters please contact our locum vicar, Revd Derek Jones, (dereklizjones@gmail.com) ( 0412 025 695)

or the Churchwardens:

Asylum Seeker Resource Centre

For 21 years, the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre has been a lifeline for people seeking asylum, and an advocate for some of the world’s most desperate and in-need people.

With less than 2 months of funds left to support its services, last month the ASRC released an urgent appeal for funds, as donations have dropped by 45% since July 2022. To donate, click here.

The ASRC provides food, housing, healthcare, legal support and other essential services to the 7,000 people that have been denied these rights. Your donations can help this important work of love to continue to meet the need of our brothers and sisters in need. 

Anyone who wants to give money to the parish, either once-off or regularly, may do so through the ADF (which uses the name “Indue Ltd”), BSB 703-122 account number 5004716, for “St Faith’s Parish Giving Account”. These donations can be anonymous (Matt 6.4).

A prayer for our parish at this time between vicars:

Bountiful God, each time and each season is given by you: we pray for our parish during this season, in which we seek your will for our future; help us to be good stewards of this time of opportunity, that in it we and those who lead us may be encouraged and blessed, and through it we may know whom you are calling to be our next vicar, and to what they are being called; for the sake of Jesus Christ. Amen.

                                                                            *********************
We have set up a Little Free Library between the labyrinth and the hall.
Little Free Libraries are part of the book sharing movement; come and
browse, take a book, leave a book, and enjoy being part of a network
of local bookworms. The aim of these libraries is to build community,
spark creativity, and inspire readers; and we’d love to have you be
part of that with us!  

St Faith’s Burwood
6-8 Charles St Glen Iris 3146
Here for our community. We offer you something even when the church building is closed.

The Labyrinth
Walk, pray, meditate.
Be at peace.

The Little Free Library
Take a book, leave a book. There’s something for
everyone!
