Social justice at St Ursula’s in Term 4

Social justice at St Ursula’s in Term 4

The Mirrabooka Student Leadership Team is coordinating the Term 4 Social Justice Outreach Program in support of the Kingsgrove Conference of Vinnies. In consultation with Bernie Deady, Conference President, we are supporting three Vinnies’ services.

Years 7 to 10: Vinnies Christmas hampers and the Marian Centre

Working with our local chapter of the St Vincent de Paul Society, Years 7 to 10 will be packing Christmas hampers. These hampers will be distributed by the OLF Kingsgrove Mini Vinnies.

Year 10 will be collecting items for those supported by the Marian Centre. This is a crisis accommodation and case management service for women with children who have experienced domestic/family violence and/or homelessness. They provide safe, shared accommodation with individual bedrooms. This is a wonderful way to live their Ursuline value of ACT.

Year 11: Liverpool Men’s Centre

Year 11 will be collecting items for those supported by the Liverpool Men’s Centre. This centre is a crisis accommodation and case management service for unaccompanied men. They provide safe, shared accommodation with individual bedrooms. We have been supporting this centre with meals each Wednesday evening for the past year as part of our One Meal Kingsgrove service.

I thank you for your support and look forward to keeping the Serviam spirit alive for those less fortunate than ourselves.
