St. Vincent de Paul Society The annual St. Vincent de Paul winter appeal is set down for the weekend of 20th and 21st June—NEXT WEEKEND. Last week we noted that there has been an increase of 24% in assistance requested of the society in the last 2 years. This is backed up by the fact that in spite of overall economic growth in Australia over the past 20 years more people are now living in poverty than ever before. This includes more than 600,000 children and with single parent families most at risk. These facts are reflected strongly in the Marsfield/Macquarie Park area which the St. Anthony’s conference covers. Your support of our appeal would be appreciated. “In the Footsteps of Mary MacKillop” - Have you considered participating in the National Pilgrimage?
