Light for the City, Refreshment for the Soul

Matthew 5:14,16 | Acts 3:19 | Philemon 1:17

We aspire to shine for Christ and bring transformation to our community.

Welcome

Welcome to South Head Anglican Parish, a hopeful and warm community of faith for all people.
All are very welcome.

Jesus promises that the weary and burdened who come to him will find rest. We treasure these words and our prayer is that when you join us, you will grow in your friendship with Jesus, his people and come to know the peace of his love.

South Head Anglican Parish combines St. Michael’s, Vaucluse and St. Peter’s, Watsons Bay. We gather for worship and fellowship at both locations.

For Jesus
Rev Matt Aroney

Our Mission
