Welcome to the Anglican Diocese of Riverina.

We provide Christian ministry to the largely remote and rural towns, villages and communities of western New South Wales. Our Diocese covers the western 37% of the State and seeks to share the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ with those who live in these communities. 

There are 21 Parishes in the Diocese stretching from Corowa in the south-east on the Murray River to Wentworth in the south-west at the confluence of the Murray and Darling Rivers; from the Parish of Broken Hill and The Far West in the north (which includes Tibooburra, White Cliffs and Wilcannia) to Lake Cargelligo, Ariah Park and Coolamon in the east.

Griffith is the administrative centre of the Diocese with the Cathedral Church of St Alban the Martyr and the Diocesan Registry.

Bishop’s Easter Message 

Easter is about hope amid the difficulties and tragedies of life. We come to Easter this year knowing that so much in our world is different, difficult or tragic. We have had drought again in Australia followed by the largest inland flood ever recorded. War continues to rage on in Ukraine and between Palestinians and Israelis.

The message of Easter is that loss, death and destruction is overcome by the loving sacrifice that Jesus made on the cross for the world, a sacrifice that revealed the resurrection – new life for all that is God’s gift for all. May we turn to the crucified and risen Jesus and share that gift of life and love with all.
