Children’s Education
Wednesday mornings (11am-1pm) at Holy Cross
Space is a programme for families, parents and their babies. Space is about building relationships, creating a great space for parents to meet as a group once a week for the first year of their babies’ lives.

Morning Tea at Settlers
We meet for fellowship every 3rd Wednesday of the month at 10am at a common space area in Settlers Retirement Village, 550 Albany Highway in Albany. All are welcome. For further information, please contact Yukiko via 021 047 4753 or [email protected]
Prayer Space at Holy Cross
A prayer space is open to all who need a quiet space to pray and reflect from Tuesday to Friday from 9am to 12 pm.
Please feel free to come and sit, be still, and pray in the Lady Chapel.
Pastoral Care and Home Visiting
An important part of pastoral care at AGAC is home/hospital visiting. This is done by our priests. Sometimes this is to serve communion, other times it is to offer his/her presence or prayers. If you would like to be visited in the hospital or at home, please contact us.
Prayer Ministry
This is a confidential ministry where we pray for any individual on request. People do not need to be members of the church to be on the prayer list. You can contact us at [email protected].
Life Moments
We are happy to explore requests for baptism, confirmation, confession, marriage, and funeral services. We are also willing to prepare and carry out special services such as house blessings and prayers for life thresholds such as birth, loss, healing,You are welcome to contact our priest-in-charge for any of the above, and for pastoral support or prayer on all matters.
Rest Home Services
A team from the Parish provides a Holy Communion service (with lots of singings!) at Fairview Rest Home (in Albany) on the second Friday of the month at 11 am.
Holy Cross Kids
At AGAC we enjoy a community that includes people of all ages. Children are very welcome at both Churches. At the 10:30 service at Holy Cross, usually two or three of us are rostered on each Sunday. Our role is to welcome children and their families and help them feel at home at Holy Cross. It’s a lot of fun, and also a wonderful way to support the faith formation of our children. Please contact Yukiko if you are interested in being involved. For any inquiries, please contact Yukiko at [email protected]
