Who we are
Many people wander into All Saints' out of curiosity, and find themselves overwhelmed by a mysterious sense of prayer, sacredness, and love. They experience this Anglo-Catholic church in the heart of the City of Brisbane as a holy place, a sacred site, a shrine which triggers off their deep-seated human instinct to reach out to God.
In this church the earthly and the heavenly mingle daily in the offering of the Mass. All Saints' is an inclusive place in which the gaze of all is directed to the outstretched arms of Jesus on the cross, the ultimate sign of God's love.
The pictures, statues and icons remind us that even in apparent isolation we never pray alone. For us, slipping into a church like All Saints' for "private" prayer is an experience of the whole praying community, which includes the Blessed Virgin Mary and all the Saints whose love supports us on our faith journey.
The present church, the oldest existing Anglican Church in Brisbane, was opened for worship on the Birthday of the Blessed Virgin Mary, 8th September, 1869, replacing an earlier structure of 1862. Its style is nineteenth century gothic revival, with buttressed walls of rough faced rubble, porphyry and sandstone, and a metal clad roof. The interior has a fine example of a hammer-beam roof, which is rare in Australia.
All Saints' Church has played no small part in the story of Brisbane's development into a city of culture and significance. Well-known identities who worshipped at All Saints' in the nineteenth century included Sir Robert Ramsey Mackenzie, Sir James Dickson, (both of whom served as Premiers of Queensland, the latter becoming Minister of defence in the first Commonwealth Government), Mrs Mary Peattie, and the Hon. John Douglas. To this day, All Saints' is regarded by many as the "Parish Church of the City of Brisbane".

Other information
"Yes, Lord"
"Yes, Lord! Jesus, I give all of this to you. Jesus," I just started out a dream for my neighbourhood. "I didn't ask you to make me a messenger to the world. I just wanted to love my neighbours. But Jesus, here it is. Here's my future, here's my loneliness, here are all the pressures, here are the criticism", and I gave Him everything. And I told Him to take me again and I would try to make "Yes, Lord" the continuing motto of my life..
