Celebrating 20 years of ministry

1 JANUARY 2003

As new students settle in to life on campus, St Martin’s College is celebrating 20 years of ministry to young people studying at Charles Sturt University (CSU) in Wagga Wagga. The College is a joint ministry of the Anglican Dioceses of Riverina, and Canberra and Goulburn, offering self-catered residential accommodation to CSU students in Wagga Wagga. The milestone was marked by a weekend of celebrations on Saturday 11 and Sunday 12 February which included tours, an anniversary dinner, a book launch, and a service of worship in the newly-renovated College Chapel. The new Garden of Reflection for the chapel was also blessed and dedicated by Bishop Doug Stevens from the Diocese of the Riverina. The garden features olive hedges, a pool of reflection, a waterfall, outdoor seating and an altar. The Head of St Martin’s College, the Reverend Jenny Willsher, hopes the garden will benefit staff and students. “This is a sacred space people can bring their stress, sadness, sorrows, and challenges, as well as their joys and celebrations, and find themselves renewed and refreshed.”
