St Vincent De Paul Society Christmas Appeal
Make it a real Christmas filled with joy!
The annual St Vincent de Paul Society Christmas Appeal provides hope, comfort, and dignity to over 3000 families in Western Australia who will be struggling during the Christmas season. As a Catholic school educating in the Marist Tradition, Newman College seeks to reach out and serve those in our community following the example set by Jesus in the Scriptures: “For I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty, and you gave me something to drink…Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters, you did for me.”
Matthew 25: 35;40
This year, the focus of the Vinnies Christmas Appeal is on the continuing impacts of the cost-of-living-crisis in Australia, including rental and housing affordability and its compounding effects.
