St Andrew's Day
Sunday is our 181st Patronal Festival since the foundation of the Parish opened on
30 November 1842. As we first celebrated public worship on St Andrew’s Day, this church was dedicated to Saint Andrew.We are the oldest continuing Parish in Melbourne, older than the Diocese itself. This weekend we celebrate our 181st Patronal Festival – St Andrew’s Day – the occasion on which we annually honour St Andrew as the Patron Saint
of this parish.

Sat@6 v Victoria Brass
There will be a bit of competition on Saturday evening as there will be a rehearsal by the Bach Choir and a performance by the members of Victoria Brass, overlapping the Sat@6 service. Sat@6 will be held in the Lady Chapel, which can support 2 services at once when Brighton Grammar are using the church. However, Victoria Brass may be a bit louder than the boys and there is the possibility that the service may have to be shortened to accommodate ear drums.
Tim Mallis - Assistant Director of Music
I announced at the Parish Annual Meeting on Sunday that Tim will be leaving us at the end of January. We appreciate all that he has brought to St Andrew's and will formally farewell him in January. The choir will farewell him at the Christmas Day breakfast between services.

'Mazi' has opened in the school house and first in to try their wares were Xev and Calvin, and me. The cafe is great, inside and out, and we look forward to a long and fruitful relationship.
