The first Anglican Church
service was held in the Boort district on October 6th 1850. Since then
there has been continuous Anglican worship in Boort. This 150 years of history
was celebrated in October 2000.
November 30th 2008 marked the 50th anniversary of the present building with its
magnificent stained-glass window overlooking the Boort lake. The
foundation stone was laid by Bishop Winter of the St Arnaud Diocese. To
mark the occasion, the interior of the church has been painted afresh and we
have big plans to celebrate on our patronal festival.
Originally part of
the Diocese of Ballarat and then St Arnaud, the church of St Andrew in Boort
became part of the Parish of Pyramid Hill/Boort when the St Arnaud diocese
merged with the Diocese of Bendigo in 1976.
A Family Service on the second
Sunday of the month caters for the growing number of young families
worshipping at St Andrew's and "Awesome Sunday" on the fourth Sunday
is alive with children's activities.
