Melbourne has a diverse ranges of faiths, although the top two are Christianity (there are 15 branches of Christianity routinely practiced in Melbourne) followed by Agnosticism.

Most services are conducted in English, although you can find an occasional Latin Mass offered in St Paul’s Cathedral in Melbourne’s CBD. This will usually happen only on certain special occasions like Christmas Eve. Other branches of Christianity also conduct their services in English, as well as Greek, Macedonian, Ukrainian and Serbian Orthodox services (although if you want to make friends when the service is over, it will pay to be bilingual). Hebrew is spoken in synagogues, although you will not find any Jewish Melburnians who cannot speak English. Similarly, you will hear Arabic used if you attend mosque, but English is perfectly acceptable for communicating after the service. For Hindus, Pooja is usually held at 8am and 7.30pm. Baha’i services are held in the homes of fellow believers, as there is only one temple in Australia and it is in Sydney.

A list of all places of worship to be found in Melbourne is below. Many do not have direct phone lines (and no websites) but when you get there, worship times will be clearly displayed on noticeboards and the like.
