Term 4 Christmas Appeal

As we embrace the Christmas season, our Ursuline motto Serviam—“I will serve”—guides us to live out our faith through acts of love and service. The Vinnies Christmas Appeal offers a wonderful opportunity to put Serviam into action by supporting individuals and families who are struggling during this special time of year. 

Vinnies Kingsgrove supports the vulnerable through a variety of essential services aimed at addressing both immediate needs and long-term challenges. They provide emergency relief such as food, clothing, and financial assistance to individuals and families in crisis, while also offering homelessness support through crisis accommodation and outreach programs. 

Beyond direct aid, Vinnies is also committed to advocating for social justice and systemic change to combat the root causes of poverty and inequality. Through these efforts, Vinnies restores dignity and brings hope to the most vulnerable in our community.

By donating items that will be packed into hampers  we can stand in solidarity with our neighbours embodying the spirit of St. Angela Merici and the Ursuline charism. 

Together, let’s live Serviam and make a meaningful difference.

This year, we are trialling a new system – each PC class will be asked to bring in the items on a checklist. These items will be packed into a supplied box and the box will be delivered to the Clune Centre on Thursday 5 December where they will be organised for distribution. Boxes will be available from Mrs Nader from Week 5. 

I  would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude for your unwavering support of our youth ministry initiatives. Your encouragement and involvement play an essential role in enriching the faith journey of our students and fostering a vibrant, engaged community. Your partnership helps us inspire and nurture the spiritual growth of our young women, ensuring that these initiatives continue to thrive.
