Saturday 18th September — Dedication Festival
The present church of St Alban the Martyr on the corner of Conybere Street and Stanhope Street opened on the 3rd of May 1881 — but it was a long-standing custom in our parish to continue to celebrate the anniversary of the opening of the first temporary mission church of St Alban on Leopold Street in 1865 on Holy Cross Day — 14th September — as our Dedication Festival. This year we have revived the custom with a Mass in the octave of Holy Cross Day to celebrate both the start of the mission district that became our parish and the renewal of the roof of our church and provision of improved step-free access.
