Friends of St James Cathedral

• • Promote an interest in and a sense of ownership of the Cathedral within the Townsville and wider community. A shared sense of commitment to the Cathedral would unite current and past worshippers, parishioners from other Anglican parishes, community members and occasional visitors.
  • Encourage greater use of the Cathedral for community events- art, music, forums so that it might become a focus for Community life.
  • Bring together people who love the Cathedral and who would be prepared to be "on-duty" for periods of time, so that the building can be opened to the public more often.
  • Provide a welcome to tourists, city workers and casual visitors who may be seeking reflection, or live-streaming of a loved one’s funeral, within a sacred space.
  • Participate in fund raising that will help to preserve (maintain) the Cathedral into the future.
  • To promote membership of the group by participating in enjoyable activities.
