"Historic and Quaint church set in a fabulous location on top of the hill with beautiful rich stained glass and apse and old organ.. Services have a Cantor and a choir and very friendly servers and congregation. I went to Christmas Mass which was sung. It was very beautiful."

"A beautiful example of Gothic architecture in a peaceful setting on Main Street in Kangaroo Point. An Anglican church built in 1873 by Alfred Grant & designed by Richard Suter. Well worth a look for the setting overlooking the Brisbane skyline"
Diana Waines
"We went for Christmas Eve midnight with the family. I'd almost lost hope of finding non uber-woke Christmas Midnight church services. We were pleasantly surprised. Apart from the stupid "welcome to pagan country", which we simply turned our backs on, the service itself was totally devoid of alphabet soup (lgbt rubbish), refugee rubbish or wokisms. Not a rainbow in sight! It was even precided over by a man, who actually preached the gospel. Even the choir sang traditional lyrics of traditional carols, where most other churches are butchering them with wokisms. Well done church! We were very impressed. Lovely architecture by the way!"
