Sat­urday 10th Decem­ber is St Luke’s Mini-Mar­ket (9 a.m. to 2 p.m.) and we need your help.

Each year we sell whatever you can bring – jams, pickles, cakes, bis­cuits, slices, plants and of course we have a good sup­ply of bric-a-brac in our Opshop.

We also have a giant food hamper com­pet­i­tion for which we sell tick­ets, and parish­ion­ers are encour­aged to donate Christ­mas fare to put in the bas­ket – there are lots of del­ic­acies in the shops which would be grate­fully appre­ci­ated by the win­ner! If we get a lot of food dona­tions, we might have first and second prize.    A very nice boxed cake has already been donated!

Thanks every­one in anti­cip­a­tion of your goodies!

Sat 5 Nov 2022 — St’Anmoré Music Fest­iv­al Walk - start­ing at 12pm

Place:  meet at the Church car park to walk to Stanmore

Weath­er:  come pre­pared, as the walk will pro­ceed “rain, hail or shine.”

On Sat­urday, 5 Novem­ber 2022, Stanmore’s streets will come alive with the sound of music.  The St’Anmoré Music Fest­iv­al was cre­ated in hon­our of the late Richard Gill AO, the renowned Aus­trali­an musi­cian, con­duct­or, and edu­cat­or who lived in Stan­more, a few minutes away from the Church.  He had a vis­ion to hold an annu­al event to bring music to the streets.  Richard Gill died in 2018 and the Fest­iv­al was first held in 2019.  It returns this year after a pan­dem­ic silence.

Please speak to Brett Dav­ies TODAY if you would like to join the walk.
