Who We Are
ABOUT OUR CHURCH
St Peter Julian’s Church is a eucharistic shrine located on George Street, in the heart of Sydney’s Chinatown.
The church is in the pastoral care of the Blessed Sacrament Congregation and is named after St Peter Julian Eymard (1811-1868), who founded the Congregation in France in 1856.
A religious community of priests and brothers live in the monastery attached to St Peter Julian’s Church.
WHAT WE DO
In addition to serving the daily needs of the church, the Congregation is also available, on request, before marriage and baptism.
Masses are celebrated throughout the week including in Cantonese and Korean; also in Indonesian (first and third Saturday) and Filipino (first Sunday). More details about our Mass times are available here.
Sacramental reconciliation, or confession, is available at these times.
JOIN US IN PRAYER
The public are invited to join the religious community in the morning and evening prayer of the church on weekdays, and to participate in regular devotions including a weekly novena and a prayer group.
A priest is available for consultation by appointment only. For appointments, call (02) 9270 6900 or visit our reception Monday to Friday, 10:30am to 4:30pm or Sunday 9:00am to 5:00pm.
Outside the rostered times of daily masses and other services, St Peter Julian’s Church is an oasis of silence and peace in the centre of the city, a place of welcome and meeting, and a shrine of prayer and adoration in the setting of exposition of the Blessed Sacrament.
