Prayer

God, Almighty Father,

we are your pilgrim Church journeying 

towards the Kingdom of heaven.

We live in our homeland, 

but as if we were foreigners.

Every foreign place is our home, 

yet every native land is foreign to us.

Though we live on earth, our true

citizenship is in heaven.

Do not let us become possessive 

of the portion of the world you have

given us as a temporary home. 

Help us to keep walking, together with

our migrant brothers and sisters, 

toward the eternal dwelling you have 

prepared for us.

Open our eyes and our hearts so that every encounter

with those in need becomes an encounter with Jesus,

your Son and our Lord.

Amen.

Our St Vincent De Paul 2026 executives were formally commissioned by Father Chris and St Vincent De Paul Bailly, John Wallace, during a Mass held at St Nicholas' Church. We look forward to watching this new team in their servant leadership and fundraising efforts throughout next year. We thank you for your willingness to share your time with others for a good cause.
