ST VINCENT DE PAUL CHRISTMAS APPEAL 26 & 27 NOVEMBER 2011
Post date: November 18th, 2011
Next week our SVDP conference will hold its annual Christmas appeal. This is used to fund Christmas hampers for people we have helped over the year, and for our visitation works over the next few months. There will be volunteers staying behind after each of the three masses. Please consider a donation which will either help buy hampers, or be used by our conference to assist people in need.
A recent conference meeting outlined area’s where funds from the last Winter Appeal had been directed.
….”our main call is for food vouchers and sometimes the need is particularly urgent. We recently visited a lady who was unable to work, due to injury. The lady and her invalid son were bought to tears when the food vouchers were provided, as it meant they would have food on the table.
An increasing number of people have recently found themselves in serious arrears with their power bills. Due to the funds the parish has provided, we have assisted with the payment of those bills and on at least two occasions, these payments prevented the power from being disconnected…”
At this very difficult time of year for some in our community, please give generously.

ST VINCENT DE PAUL BREAD RUN
Post date: October 28th, 2011
Our Parish maintains several bread runs, which collect unsold bread from local bakeries and take it to organisations such as St Mary’s House of Welcome in Fitzroy. We are looking for one volunteer to help in the Wednesday morning run which collects two to three bags of Bread from Baked in Greythorn (Doncaster Rd) and delivers them to St Mary’s House of Welcome in Brunswick St Fitzroy. We have a number of people on that roster, so the commitment would be on one Wednesday morning per month (the actual time is very flexible).
Please call the parish office 9857 6395 if this sounds like you
