About us

Worship

Our worship is sacred and holy, utilising all our senses, focused on God’s Word and on the Sacrament of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist. We gather together to bring all that we are so that we are transformed into the body of Christ.

We are catholic Anglicans using A Prayer Book for Australia for our common prayer and worship; we wear vestments, use incense, sing hymns and celebrate the Seasons and Feasts of the Church. We balance the Liturgy of the Word, consisting of lectionary readings from the Old Testament, Psalm, New Testament and Gospel, with The Liturgy of the Sacrament, centring on bread and wine becoming the body and blood of Christ which we receive and then become ourselves.

Commencing Sunday 3 July 2022, and during July 2022, our Sunday Eucharist is at 9:30am.

Music

Our music seeks to complement our worship and praise God. We value the tradition of many well-loved hymns and also seek to find contemporary hymns expressing our faith and understanding of God with theological integrity. For our Sung Eucharist, we use the Parish Eucharist Setting by Michael Dudman and on occasion use the Mass of St Luke the Evangelist of Philip W. J. Stopford. Our pipe organ was built in 1892 by world-renowned builders Hill & Son in England for a private residence in Perth. It was installed at St Luke’s in 1924 by J. E. Dodd, and fully restored in 2000 by F. J. Larner & Co. and Pipe Organs WA. It is one of three Hill organs brought to the state; one built for St George’s Cathedral is now reconstructed in St Hilda’s Anglican School for Girls, Mosman Park, and the other remains intact at St John the Evangelist Anglican Church, Albany.
