The Anglican Diocese of Gippsland has owned and reinvented the site of A’Beckett Park Raymond Island over the last few years to establish The Abbey , a centre for spiritual growth and for the environment.

To see more of the The Abbey and what is offered please go to their webpage here: http://theabbey.org.au/

also at A’Beckett Park is an older A Frame building which has housed many events and the camp kitchen over the years.

Our late Bishop John McIntyre had a vision for A’Beckett Park and indeed this building which he believed could house a conference centre.

Please join us in raising funds to grow that vision and redevelopment at Raymond Island.
