St Andrew's Day
St Andrew’s Brighton was first opened for worship on St Andrew’s Day – 30 November 1842 and is the oldest continuing Anglican Church in Victoria. As we first celebrated public worship on St Andrew’s Day, this church was dedicated to Saint Andrew. This weekend we celebrate our Patronal Festival – St Andrew’s Day – the occasion on which we annually honour St Andrew as the Patron Saint of this parish.

Reflecting the St Andrew’s spirit…
At Brighton Grammar, Rostrevor Hall
Through shared festive celebrations, services, and community outreach, we have not only enriched the lives of the students but also strengthened the connection between families and our church.
From supporting students’ spiritual growth to providing spaces for worship, serving and celebration, this partnership has been a testament to the power of unity in purpose.
At Christmas, we are reminded of the partnership God made with humanity through the birth of Jesus. In the same way, our shared work (BGS and St Andrew’s) over the years reflects the essence of that divine partnership, bringing light and love into the world.
