The Feast of the Transfiguration
A Sacred Thomian Tradition
Wednesday 6th August 2025 | 6:30 PM | All Saints Anglican Church, Parramatta

Dear fellow Thomians,

We warmly invite you to gather in worship and thanksgiving for the annual Feast of the Transfiguration—a solemn and sacred tradition of the S. Thomas’ College Old Boys’ Association NSW/ACT. This commemorative service reflects our deep spiritual heritage and pays homage to the very event to which our beloved College Chapel in Mount Lavinia is dedicated.

The Transfiguration—where Christ revealed His divine glory before Peter, James and John—remains a profound moment in the Christian narrative, a glimpse of majesty and mystery that echoes across the generations. It calls us, in the words of the Father, to “Hear Him.”

This year’s observance is especially significant. We will be graced by the presence of The Right Reverend Dushantha Rodrigo, Bishop of Colombo, who will preach at the service. As the first Old Boy of S. Thomas’ College to be elevated to the historic See of Colombo, Bishop Rodrigo’s presence will be both a spiritual homecoming and a milestone in our Thomian legacy.

We urge all alumni, their families and friends to join us on this hallowed evening. Let us come together in prayer, in fellowship, and in remembrance—transfigured, as Paul writes, “into His likeness with ever-increasing glory.” (2 Corinthians 3:18)
Let us uphold this beautiful tradition with reverence, and allow Christ’s radiance to renew and transform us afresh.
