About Us
Holy Grounds is a new community space right in the heart of the City of Perth. From small and dreamy beginnings, a vision has taken shape to develop an operational community café space connecting individuals and groups and challenging social exclusion. Holy Grounds is a place where friendships and community can be formed and a low-barrier, unthreatening way for people to engage in the wider life of St George's Cathedral should they wish. By placing community participation and engagement at the centre of Holy Grounds, and creating a quality public space, we believe we will see improvements in health, happiness and wellbeing.
