St Mary's, Geraldine
The first Anglican church was established in Geraldine in 1864. St Mary’s Church, as it stands today, was built in 1899 (the original building was moved to Orari but burnt down in 1925. It served a small congregation there until 2011). Regarded as the mother church of the parish, St Mary’s stands proudly in the heart of Geraldine township.

St Stephen's, Peel Forest
The first church on this site was erected in 1868 and was ecumenical in its purpose. A powerful whirlwind swept through in May, 1884, demolishing the building completely. The community banded together and St Stephen’s was rebuilt just one year later, consecrated in 1887. A bustling community continue to worship there.

Holy Innocents, Mount Peel
The Church of the Holy Innocents at Mount Peel Station was a gift to the community by John Barton Arundel Acland and consecrated by his father-in-law, Bishop Henry John Chitty Harper, 30 May 1869. The church is named in remembrance of three infant children who died between 1864 and 1869 and are buried in the churchyard cemetery. Badly damaged in the September 2010 earthquake, the church has been painstakingly restored and strengthened, and now stands as pristine as it was when first consecrated in the 1860s.

May your light illuminate our hearts
Eternal God, this holy night is radiant with the brilliance of your one true light. May that light illuminate our hearts and shine in our words and deeds. May the hope, the peace, the joy, and the love represented by the birth in Bethlehem this night fill our lives and become part of all that we say and do. May we share the divine life of your son Jesus Christ, even as he humbled himself to share our humanity. Amen.
