Hughes-Cheong Lecture
The biennial Hughes-Cheong Lecturship was established in 1943 to honour two remarkable former priests of St Peter’s Eastern Hill, known for their good works and outreach: Canon Ernest Selwyn Hughes (TC 1883), and Fr James Cheong (TC 1891). Hughes was assistant priest at St Peter’s after his return from London in 1894, then vicar from 1900 until his retirement in 1926. Cheong studied at Cuddesdon College, England, where he was deaconed before being priested in Melbourne in 1906. From then until his death in 1941, he served as assistant priest at St Peter’s. Trinity College has administered the Hughes-Cheong Trust since 2020.
