Our parish is supporting the St Vincent de Paul Society’s Winter Appeal. Each year, our Winter Appeal plays a vital role in enabling the good works of the Society and, with your support, we hope to achieve a strong result so we can continue serving the community.
Over the past six months, the Society has provided over $5 million in material assistance, including food, clothing, furniture and financial support, to families and households in need throughout Victoria. With the current homelessness crisis, the assistance we provide for people experiencing hardship this Winter will be needed more than ever.
Parishioners are encouraged to donate generously to help continue the Society’s work of helping those most in need.
Please do so by donating to our St Vinnies Ashburton Conference by calling 13 18 12,

We have great news for locals wanting to participate in next year’s Jubilee and unable to travel to Rome. In anticipation of the official opening of Jubilee 2025, the Catholic Archdiocese of Melbourne has announced the 13 churches and shrines within the Archdiocese that will be designated Pilgrim Places for the purposes of the 2025 Jubilee, with the majestic St Patrick’s Cathedral serving as the principal Pilgrim Place.
