Jubilee of St Paul`s ChurchPrint Page

The porch of the church commemorates the jubilee of St Paul`s Church from 1874 to 1924.

St Paul's Cleveland one of Queensland s oldest churches is about to celebrate its golden jubilee. On May 21 1874, the late Canon Jones came to Cleveland by coach with six other clergy and opened this church for divine service. The addition of a handsome porch has just been completed as a jubilee memorial. The celebrations open next Friday (May 16) and will be continued on Saturday with a jubilee fete in the School of Arts Hall Cleveland, to be opened at 2 o'clock each day. 

A generous programme has been provided for this part of the festival, to which children will be admitted free. The present parishioners also invite all " old parishioners" to unite in a "Back to Cleveland" movement and to join in their festivities and services of rejoicing. The opening jubilee services will be conducted on Sunday, May 18, by Bishop Le Fanu and continued every evening during the octave at 7 o'clock by the various visiting Brisbane clergy.  On Saturday, May 24 (Empire Day) a reception to his Grace the Archbisop will be held in the church grounds. On Sunday, May 25, his Grace will consecrate the jubilee porch and conduct the closing services of the festival. A brass memorial tablet has been placed in the new porch.
