Description

St. George’s Anglican Church in East Ivanhoe is one of only two Australian churches designed by renowned Australian architects Robin Boyd and Frederick Romberg. Completed in 1964, St George’s was part of Melbourne’s post-war church building boom, inspired by modernism and a less-traditional approach to ecclesiastical design.
A Christian church in the Anglo-Catholic tradition St George operates a successful and popular opportunity shop with some 30 volunteers involved. It presents organ and choral music of a high order; provides facilities for a significant number of community groups including the Tudor Choristers, the Heidelberg Wind Ensemble and the Heidelberg Choral Society; the courtyard and surrounds are used extensively for parish and community activities; and it supports many charitable organisations in the district, Melbourne, throughout Australia, and overseas. Environmentally aware, the facility has extensive water storage and solar panels providing power. People of all cultures, religions (or none) and political opinions are welcome.
