St Martin’s celebrates century

On March 25, St Martin’s Anglican Church, Mullumbimby, will proudly celebrate its 100th anniversary.

The parish says the anniversary ‘marks a century of spiritual service and community outreach in the heart of Mullumbimby’.

Founded in 1925, St Martin’s has been a cornerstone of the town, providing a place of worship, fellowship, and support for generations of locals.

The milestone will be celebrated with a series of events – a special service was held on Sunday, March 16, led by Bishop Murray Harvey.

A ‘Centenary Celebration Concert’ will be held on Sunday, March 23 from 3pm. The concert will feature local artists who have a special connection to this beautiful church.

‘We are excited to commemorate this special occasion with our parishioners, the community, and all who have supported St. Martin’s over the years,’ said Anne Wareing, Parish Office Manager.

Enduring spirit of faith

‘This anniversary is a testament to the enduring spirit of faith and service that has defined our church for a century.’

She says the church’s history, intertwined with that of Mullumbimby, reflects both the challenges and triumphs of the town.

‘Through its outreach programs, St. Martin’s has fostered a deep connection with the local community, providing support in times of need and celebrating life’s joys including weddings, baptisms and special events’.

‘The anniversary celebrations will offer a chance to reflect on the past while looking forward to a future of continued service.

‘Everyone, both long-time members and newcomers, are invited to join the festivities and share in the joy of this historic occasion’.
