  • Giving to the cathedral by EFT

    Congratulations Your decision to adopt Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) giving means that you, and the cathedral, can benefit from the latest in technology. The joy to you is knowing that your gifts will be received, even on those occasions when you are unable to attend a service.
    The cathedral benefits also. Not only does EFT giving make it easier to plan and achieve Budget targets. But, in addition, the labour required for counting money and taking it manually to the bank for deposit is eliminated.
    In short, the outcome is a WIN, WIN, WIN.
    You, the parishioner wins. The cathedral wins.  And, most importantly, God’s Kingdom is expanded.
    Can one wish for a better outcome?
    Having decided how much you wish to give and the frequency of your giving, you will need to approach the Financial Institution where your account is held.
    You will be asked to provide the following Cathedral banking details;
    Account Name   Christ Church Cathedral Fund Raising Account
    Bank                    Westpac – Newcastle Hunter Street Branch
    BSB                     032 – 501
    Account No.        134556 
    Once your new regular payment  is established, congratulate yourself once again on your wise decision. Most importantly, you will no longer require offering envelopes. If you wish to place a token in the plate, please ask for a set of out of date envelopes: you are welcome to use one of these to place in the plate as a symbol of your giving.
    If you wish to give additional amounts at any time your Financial Institution will show you how to achieve this outcome with Internet Banking.
    In the meantime, Continue to enjoy ……………………..GREAT SUCCESS

  • Cathedral Book Fair

    This will be held in the Cathedral Hall on Saturday 6 November from 8.30am to 3pm to raise funds for the work of the Cathedral. Richard Holt (0405 906 995) is again organising the Bookstalls and would be grateful for donations of books to sell. Please spring clean your bookshelves and also spread the word widely amongst your friends. We hope to have a variety of other stalls. If you would be willing to organise a themed stall, please contact the Dean by email, post or telephone, with your ideas and offers of help. All proceeds raised will go directly to the work of the Cathedral.

  • Installation of Father Mark Watson

    This will take place during evensong at 6pm on 12 September, with bring and share finger food and refreshments in the cathedral hall after the service. Please pray for Father Mark as he begins his ministry among us and for the people of the parish of Bateau Bay as they go forward without Mark. Father Mark will be in Sydney, preaching at St Alban’s Epping next Sunday morning 19 September, but will be at evensong.
