Fix this textThe School Chaplain Reports on the New
Fix this text"Chapel of Christ the King”
Fix this textOn Bth August, 1965, at 3 p.m.,
Fix this textthe Bishop of Canberra-Goulburn,
Fix this textthe Right Reverend K. J. Clements
Fix this text8.A., Th.D., dedicated the new
Fix this textschool chapel.
Fix this textThis was an historic occasion in
Fix this textthe life of the school when the
Fix this textdreams, the plans and labours of
Fix this textmany people over a long period
Fix this textcame to fruition with the solemn
Fix this textwords of the Bishop “In the name
Fix this textof Christ the King and in his
Fix this textfaith, we dedicate this chapel . . .
Fix this textsanctify with thy gracious pres-
Fix this textence this house which is built for
Fix this textthy honour and glory”.
Fix this textIt was a memorable occasion
Fix this textfor a number of reasons as the
Fix this textunusually heavy mantle of snow
Fix this textwhich had fallen the day before
Fix this textstill lay on the ground in many
Fix this textplaces, but this did not deter a
Fix this textcongregation of some six hundred
Fix this textpeople attending four hundred
Fix this textsqueezing inside while the rest sat
Fix this texton chairs outside looking through
Fix this textthe five open doors and listening
Fix this textto the service through amplifiers.
Fix this textThen too, the three Headmasters
Fix this textof the school were present and we
Fix this textwere treated to a fine address by
Fix this textthe Right Reverend D. A. Garn-
Fix this textsey, M.A., Th.D., Bishop of
Fix this textGippsland. It was also a pleasure
Fix this textto have the former chaplain, the
Fix this textReverend A. R. Morris, who had
Fix this textcontributed so much in the early
Fix this textstages of the planning, with us
Fix this textand joining in the ceremony.
Fix this textThe chapel has certainly been
Fix this textthe result of the corporate efforts
Fix this textof so many members of the school
Fix this textboth past and present. From the
Fix this texttime when the chapel fund was
Fix this textrevived in 1'957 with a substantial
Fix this textdonation from the Clothworkers’
Fix this textCompany in London, to the time
Fix this textwhen the Parents and Friends’
Fix this textAssociation decided to undertake
Fix this textthe building of the chapel as their
Fix this textcurrent major enterprise, many
Fix this textdonations both large and small
Fix this texthave been received. The Old Boys’
Fix this textUnion has contributed the pews
Fix this textand all old boys from the com-
Fix this textmencement of the school will be
Fix this textremembered by yearly groups in-
Fix this textscribed on plaques. Specific
Fix this textmemorials dedicated during the
Fix this textservice were: the altar in memory
Fix this textof Dr. Clyde Finlay, the school’s
Fix this textmedical officer from 1928-1963; a
Fix this textprayer desk in memory of Miss
Fix this textEva Hern, remembered affection-
Fix this textately by so many boarders; the
Fix this textpulpit in memory of Mr. and Mrs.
Fix this textR. De Salis and David from their
Fix this textfamily; the lectern and its copy
Fix this textof the New English Bible in
Fix this textmemory of David De Salis from
Fix this texthis school friends; one chair in
Fix this textmemory of Mr. and Mrs. Humb-
Fix this textley; the altar prayer book in
Fix this textmemory of Amy Edwards; the
Fix this textcross on the wall behind the altar
Fix this texthas not yet been finally designed
Fix this textbut this will be dedicated to the
Fix this textmemory of Toby Barton. A pro-
Fix this textcessional cross is being made in
Fix this textmemory of the Eddison brothers
Fix this textwhile other items are being pre-
Fix this textpared in memory of Group
Fix this textCaptain Brill and Mr. R. E. S.
Fix this textSheldon.

Fix this textA memorial book is being
Fix this textplanned in which will be recorded
Fix this textthe history of the chapel and a
Fix this textlist of the donors and memorials.

Fix this textchapel for inspection by the

Fix this textdesigned by Miss Elaine Haxton
Fix this textare at present being embroidered
Fix this textunder the expert direction of Sis-
Fix this textter Mary of the Community of
Fix this textthe Sisters of the Church in Mel-
Fix this textbourne.
Fix this textThe crypt chapel is being fur-
Fix this textnished with the memorials from
Fix this textthe old chapel and provides a
Fix this textvery personal link with the past.
Fix this textThe architects, Yuncken & Free-
Fix this textman, and the builders, Simmie &
Fix this textCo., must be congratulated on
Fix this texttheir painstaking efforts in pro-
Fix this textducing a building worthy of its
Fix this textname as they had many difficult
Fix this textconstructional problems to over-
Fix this textcome.
Fix this textThe new chapel has already
Fix this textdeveloped a hallowed atmosphere
Fix this textwith its daily prayers, regular
Fix this textSunday services, a clergy retreat
Fix this textand midweek and saints’ day ser-
Fix this textvices held in the crypt. The first
Fix this textConfirmation of 31 candidates was
Fix this textheld on 16th October and two
Fix this textBaptism services of Old Boys’
Fix this textchildren have been conducted.
Fix this textWhile so much has been
Fix this textachieved to make the chapel and
Fix this textits furnishings a beautiful and
Fix this textsacred part of the school’s life,
Fix this textthere is still much to do to im-
Fix this textprove the efficiency of the chapel
Fix this textfor the conduct of its services and
Fix this textthere will be further items re-
Fix this textquired which in themselves will
Fix this textbe works of artistic merit enhan-
Fix this textcing the beauty of the building
Fix this textand “Blessing this place to be a
Fix this textsanctuary of the most high and a
Fix this textchurch of the Living God”.
Fix this textA design has been prepared by
Fix this textRoger Kemp for a stained glass
Fix this textwindow above the main doors. A
Fix this textsculptured figure of Christ the
Fix this textKing would be a magnificent ad-
Fix this textdition to the main wall on the
Fix this textnorth side above the crypt doors.
Fix this textThe five front doors' have panels
Fix this texton which it is hoped to place
Fix this textbeaten copper designs depicting
Fix this textthe five mighty acts of Christ.
Fix this textVestry furniture is required for
Fix this textthe proper storage of robes,
Fix this textsacred vessels, vestments, etc.
Fix this textBenches are required for use in
Fix this textthe crypt.
Fix this textAn organ fund was started many
Fix this textyears ago by Mr. George King
Fix this textand the location of a pipe organ
Fix this texthas been allowed for in the plan-
Fix this textning, but this fund has a long way
Fix this textto go to reach the required sum.
Fix this textSmaller items still required are a
Fix this texttable for the front entrance, an
Fix this textaltar book stand and a set of
Fix this textprayer books for congregational
Fix this textuse. Kneelers have yet to be com-
Fix this textpleted and plans are in hand for
Fix this textthe covering with tapestry of the
Fix this textSanctuary kneelers.
Fix this textIt is true to say that the Chapel
Fix this textof Christ the King is a notable
Fix this textaddition to the ecclesiastical build-
Fix this textings of Canberra while truly it is
Fix this texta fitting place where, in the words
Fix this textinscribed on the Dedication
Fix this textStone, “Sursum Corda ad Dom-
Fix this textinum Habemus”.
Fix this textIt's easy and takes two shakes of a lamb's tail!
