Thank you to all the generous parishioners who continue to donate food and hygiene products so selflessly for the families in need in our area. Along with the usual list of items that are needed (see the list near this message), we particularly need winter blankets, oil, basmati rice, and long-life milk.
Thank you to the St Anthony’s School Community!
Jesuit Refugee Services (JRS) and our parish’s Altera Group are tremendously grateful for the generosity of the staff, parents, and children of St Anthony’s school for their donations of personal necessities to women, children, and men in Western Sydney who are experiencing deep need. JRS supports 750 people each week with food and hygiene products; and the donations from the school community play a critical role in supporting their everyday lives, as well as sending the message that they are valued and loved.
