Catholic Identity 

Socktober

Next week we will support and celebrate our call to Mission with Socktober. St Mary’s have been advocates for this initiative for many years. Next Thursday we will take part in our cross peer learning groups and explore how we can be socially just while raising awareness of children in our world who are vulnerable and face adversity daily. 

Next Thursday is a busy and exciting day but in line with Socktober all learners are invited to wear their crazy socks, bring a gold coin donation and learn about how we contribute to global change. Our gold coin donations will all be collected and donated to Catholic Mission who advocate for this initiative. We hope everyone supports this day! 

St Mary’s Toy Drive 

As we approach the season of Advent and Christmas, our Community Wellness team have eagerly prepared information and possibilities for our annual Toy Drive. We are aware that December can be an expensive and overwhelming time to give so we are setting up the Toy Drive drop box and timeframe early to allow families to contribute earlier if they wish. The joy of our Toy Drive is that it supports our very own local community. Please explore the details below, and give only what you can. 

St Vincent de Paul

For families finding it hard in the lead up to Christmas, St Vincent de Paul can help alleviate the burden by offering help with food and other necessities. If you would like to access this support please call our office on 54807621. We are open Tuesday's and Thursday's between 10am and 12pm at 11 Nish St Echuca.
