St Peter, Wongan Hills

St Peter Church,
Parish of Wongan Hills-Dalwallinu

The Parish of Wongan Hills-Dalwallinu straddles two large shires and is situated in the heart of the central wheatbelt comprising three centres: Wongan Hills, Dalwallinu and Ballidu. We also hold services in Konongorring and Cadoux Community Churches. The Parish Office is located in Wongan Hills.

Wongan Hills is the central meeting place for rural gatherings in the region which are held twice yearly. We run seminars with guest speakers with topics ranging from faith to personal development for Anglicans of surrounding Parishes.

The parish has vibrant congregations which are warm and welcoming. Worship is both traditional and all age. The parish takes every opportunity to reach out into the wider community which enables parishioners to deepen their relationship with God and serve their neighbour.

Our parish is an important anchor in this area, for while there is a stable farming community, there are also many families who are in transition. We are creative and flexible and are open to people’s changing needs.

Our doors are open to everyone of any faith or none.

The parish is served by a Non-Stipendiary Priest and a Parish Administrator.

Rev Leon is a local 2nd generation farmer who felt called to ministry in the 1990’s. He was ordained deacon in 2001 and was priested in 2002. Leon married Heather in 2007 and has a son, Andrew. Leon is a farmer, priest, husband, father and local community member who is gifted in caring for those around him.
