St Paul’s Church in St Leonard’s has been destroyed by fire.

St Paul’s Church and Hall have suffered significant fire damage on Thursday 28th November 2024. The damage is so significant both the Hall and the Church will be demolished. St Paul’s was the oldest building in St Leonards still standing. More importantly it has been our place of worship in St Leonards since 27 January 1915 (just short of 110 years) 
Please join in prayer for all those who have worshiped and served in ministry in this Church. Please also join with me in prayer for the young people who have now been charged with arson, and their families. Revd David.

Fortunately a small number of pieces of furniture have been saved, there are also plans in place to retain the Bell. We do plan to rebuild and continue our ministry in St Leonards as part of the Bellarine parish.

The local Catholic Church has been incredibly generous in inviting us to use their Church this coming Sunday 1st December. Planning for our Nine Lessons and Carols with crib service is ongoing as is our Christmas and weekly services.
