Vinnies 2015 Christmas Appeal

Christmas is one of the peak times of the year where many individuals and families experiencing hardship turn to Vinnies for support. Christmas is also one of the times of the year where many people in the community generously support the work of Vinnies through financial or material donations.

As a Catholic Community, St Philomena’s have donated to the St Vincent Christmas Appeal through in-school fundraisers organised by our primary and secondary Vinnies groups.

For more information on how you can support those in need this Christmas, please visit www.vinnies.org.au
