Christmas Outreach

We have embarked on our traditional Christmas outreach, with various projects in different parts of the College. This is an opportunity to model the generous attitudes you want your children to develop. 

• In previous years, some parents have enjoyed collecting a carful of goodies from Del Monte and transporting them to the House of Welcome at Granville. If you’d like to be involved, please contact Jane Sulis [j.sulis@ss.nsw.edu.au] and we will find a mutually convenient time. 

I am sure that any of the people we seek to support would love a gift card for Woolies or Coles; Target or Kmart, so they can have the dignity of choosing something they would love but can’t afford. [Two $25s are better than one $50, to spread the joy around.] 

You can find out more about the HOPE program at the CatholicCare website – it’s much more comprehensive than it sounds above! On the site is a wonderful video – only  three minutes – that shows the lifesaving difference that HOPE has made for one young mum, Tiana. 

If you want to experience the true meaning of Christmas, give something to someone who can offer nothing in return.
