Brigidine Asylum Seeker Project is hosting its annual fundraising Trivia Night on Friday 23 August at St Mary’s Parish Hall, 59 Holyrood St, Hampton, from 7.30pm. Come and join a table or make a table of 8-10 people. $25 per person tea and coffee provided. BYO food and drinks.

The Plenary Council 2020 has released the six themes for deeper reflection and eventual decision-making and action. A number of them speak to our work in Catholic social services: A joy-filled, hope-filled and servant community, and A church that is humble, healing and merciful.  Applications are invited to lead this process and the people of Australia, and to reaffirm our commitment to the Gospel mission of working with, and serving the most vulnerable within our communities. This is our core work.

A warm welcome to Dr Ursula Stephens as CEO of Catholic Social Services Australia; and deep thanks to Fr Frank Brennan for his leadership in recent years, as we look forward to his continuing contribution on the big issues at the heart of our society.

You are invited to participate in the next Walking the Land with Catholic Social Teaching workshop on Thursday 29 August 2019. This workshop will begin with a guided Yarra River walk at Amberley Centre, 7 Amberley Way, Lower Plenty.
