The Society of the Sacred Advent is an Anglican religious order founded in 1892 by Caroline Grace Millicent Short (1839 - 1922), known as Sister Caroline Amy and, later, Mother Caroline.

The nuns take vows of poverty, chastity and obedience. The patron saint of the order is John the Baptist. The Society has two schools located in Brisbane, Australia - St Margaret's and St Aidan's; both are for girls only.

The order is still active and has recently received two new novices, Sister Rosalind Miriam in 2007 and Sister Moira Grace in 2006¹. Sister Moira has since taken full vows at a ceremony held in the Sister's Chapel on the 26th February, 2008. Anybody who may be interested in finding out more about the Society of the Sacred Advent or the religious life in general should contact Mother Gillian - 3262 5511.

The sisters also conduct regular quiet days and retreats which are open to members of the public. Attendees can enjoy a day of quiet prayer in the Sister's Chapel and the beautiful gardens surrounding Community House. A traditional labyrinth is also available for use. Details for quiet days and retreats may be found in 'Focus', the newspaper for the Anglican Diocese of Brisbane.
