Our church celebrated St Ninian’s 150th anniversary with an Anniversary Service on 12 February 2023.
In a city that is only 109 years old, a 150 years old church with its original building still intact and in use is remarkable!
St Ninian’s predates Canberra by over 40 years. Originally standing isolated on the Limestone Plains, close to the road linking Queanbeyan and Yass, the little building has watched as the Nation’s Capital was founded, built and expanded to the City we know today, and has been, and continues to be, an important part of its heritage and culture.
Built by Scottish pioneer settlers in 1873 ‘the little stone church on the Yass Road’ celebrated its 150 years Anniversary on Sunday 12 February 2023 at 9.30am.
We welcomed past members, descendants of past members and all friends of St Ninian’s to join us for this very special occasion.
The Service commenced at 9.30am and will be followed by refreshments and a time for reunion and reflection.
