THANK YOU ALL – Through our mufti day today in support of Saint Vincent De Paul’s “Aroha Meal” outreach programme, we have raised $810.20. This will allow 147 meals to be provided to individuals and families in need. Thank you for supporting our ongoing Christian Witness Outreach initiatives.
As part of our Christian Witness Outreach our school Lenten challenge – FLOOD the FOODBANK with AROHA continues. Each week during the season of Lent we ask families to kindly donate non-perishable food items or essential household items. These items will be collected from the classroom and taken to our parish food bank to support those in need. Non-perishable food eg. cereal, crackers, rice, noodles. Essential household items eg. soap, toilet paper, shampoo, baby nappies, dishwashing liquid, washing powder.
“Charity is the cement which binds Communities to God and persons to one another…”
St. Vincent de Paul
We have fed a total of 44 families so far.
