Worship – Regular Services
St. Oswald’s holds a range of church services, essentially based on The Holy Communion (Second Order) from A Prayer Book of Australia. Further details for any of these services can be found by contacting our Vicar Fr. Malinda de Mel.
Sundays

This is a said service of Holy Communion of a more contemplative nature, which is followed by breakfast in the church hall.

This service is again a traditional Holy Communion service but featuring sung hymns, psalm, gospel acclamation, and mass setting.
