Palmwoods Church Centenary service to mark 100 years

Palmwoods will celebrate a century of worship and community service on Sunday 25 May, when St Augustine’s Church holds a special centenary consecration service.

The Most Rev’d Archbishop Jeremy Greaves KCSJ will lead the 10am service at the historic church, located at 13 Hill Street, Palmwoods.

Congregants and visitors are invited to join in prayers of thanksgiving and reflection on 100 years of St Augustine’s presence in the hinterland. Following the service, refreshments and fellowship will be served in the church hall, offering a chance for the community to reconnect and share memories.

St Augustine’s first opened its doors in 1925, and has since been a focal point for worship, baptisms, weddings and community outreach. Its centenary celebrations underscore the enduring faith and commitment of Palmwoods residents.

To mark the milestone, the church is publishing a commemorative book capturing its history — including the centenary events. The book will be finalised after the consecration, and preliminary orders can be placed by emailing anneleach101@gmail.com.

• All are welcome. To help with catering, please RSVP by 11 May via phone or text on 0409 079 497, or by emailing anneleach101@gmail.com.
