ANZAC Day Service – April 25, 6 a.m. (CST)

Brendan Murphy on April 19, 2024

ANZAC Day marks the anniversary of the first military action by the newly formed Australian and New Zealand Army Corps — or ANZAC — in World War I’s 1915 Battle of Gallipoli in Turkey. National observances have expanded to honor all Australians who have served and perished in war or peacekeeping. The solemn occasion is about sacrifice, however, not Gallipoli or Australian nationhood.

As planned, the ANZAC Day observance has a special service at dawn on Thursday, April 25 in the Cathedral at 6:00 a.m. CST. All are welcome to attend (this service is in person only).
