From the Diocese of North West Australia:

“St James’ Anglican Church Kununurra recently celebrated 60 years of God’s faithfulness.

Rector Daniel Faricy said it was a joy to celebrate that God has been at work, establishing and equipping believers, through the Anglican Church, for six decades in Kununurra.

The ministry has been sustained through a partnership with Bush Church Aid. St James’ is the longest continuing BCA-supported ministry in Australia, with Coober Pedy running a close second.

About 90 people attended the service which was followed by a potluck lunch and celebratory cake.

St James’ is also preparing to farewell the Faricy family, as Daniel will take up the role of Dean of St Paul’s Cathedral Rockhampton in the Diocese of Central Queensland from 2026.

Please pray for the Faricy family as they finish up and begin a new ministry, and for God to raise up a new minister to serve in Kununurra.”
