With Gratitude to Hamish Fraser for Helping Restore Our Garden!

Over a day and a half, Hamish worked incredibly hard to help us restore our garden area, digging, clearing, lifting, and rebuilding with such generosity. He even donated a greenhouse, which we’re excited to put to good use as our seedlings grow and our garden continues to flourish. We have a wonderful selection of herbs, leafy greens, vegetables, and two lemon tree seedlings planted in our garden area,and once they’re big enough, we’ll harvest what we’ve grown and create a beautiful harvest table for everyone to enjoy.

Upcoming Events hosted by the Catholic Archdiocese of Sydney:

Sistine Chapel Exhibition: Revelations

Sydney is hosting a world‑first immersive experience that brings Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel to life like never before. Created with permission from the Vatican Museums, this exhibition uses cutting‑edge projection technology and ultra‑high‑resolution imagery to recreate the scale, beauty and atmosphere of the original chapel. Located near St Mary’s Cathedral and arriving just in time for Vivid Sydney, it offers a rare opportunity to step inside a purpose‑built space and encounter the art, history and wonder of the Renaissance in a completely new way. Whether you love art, history, faith or simply beauty, this is an experience designed for everyone.  Click on the image to visit the website and book your tickets.
