Clery, formation students, and lay people with preaching licences are invited to attend a preaching workshop with the Archbishop of York, The Most Reverend and Right Honourable Stephen Cottrell, during his visit to Australia.

In an Instagram ready, sound bite culture like ours where we're told that people's brains have been rewired and we only have a two-minute attention span, it is easy to stop believing in preaching. This preaching workshop will be a challenging, stimulating, and enjoyable, put heart back into preaching, and explore the craft of the spoken word.

Rediscover confidence in preaching. Explore the craft of the spoken word and gain practical insights for communicating faith in a soundbite culture.

Today we gathered to celebrate St Francis Day and mark the 800th anniversary of the Transitus of St Francis of Assisi.

Thank you to everyone who assisted in making the day possible, and to all who joined us for the Eucharist in the Chapel of the Holy Spirit. Following the service, everyone gathered in the function room of Old Bishopsbourne for a light lunch and fellowship.

It was a wonderful opportunity to give thanks for the life, witness, and enduring legacy of St Francis, and to celebrate together as a college community.
