The annual St Vincent de Paul Christmas Appeal held during December 2025 once again highlighted the extraordinary generosity of our parish community. Across our parish, the kindness and compassion of parishioners shone through, resulting in an impressive total of more than $23,250 raised through both the Christmas Appeal and the Advent Giving Tree. In addition the parish donated $6,000 to each Conference towards their Christmas Appeal, bringing the overall total raised to over $41,250. Our parish’s remarkable contribution will provide vital assistance to individuals and families experiencing hardship, ensuring they receive the support, dignity and hope they deserve.
Your willingness to think of others – especially during a season that can be challenging for many – reflects the very heart of the work of St Vincent de Paul. Every donation plays a meaningful role in helping St Vincent de Paul offer practical assistance, emotional support and a sense of connection to those living with adversity. Your generosity continues to strengthen our community and extend care to those who need it most.
