The annual Chaplaincy Appeal will be held at all Masses across our parishes this weekend.

All donations to this appeal support and ensure that Catholic Chaplains may continue to meet the emotional and spiritual needs of the vulnerable, isolated and marginalised in our community by providing pastoral and spiritual support. The Chaplains provide a listening ear and a compassionate presence to (support) many who are in hospitals, prisons and youth justice centres as well as those living with HIV/AIDS.  Prison chaplain, Mary O’Shannassy SGS, recently shared her experience of chaplaincy in prisons.

Please give generously to the appeal so that Chaplains may continue to bring hope for a way forward and be the messengers of God’s mercy, love and compassion.

Donations can be made at our churches via the envelopes provided, or donate online.
