St Vincent de Paul Christmas Appeal 2021
St Joseph’s School ‘Gourmet Food Christmas Hamper’ raffle tickets were sent home this week to raise money for the St Vincent De Paul Christmas Appeal. Please return to the school office once sold. Additional booklets can be sent home if requested. Your generosity and support will raise money for needy people in the community this Christmas. Your compassionate action and loving service for those in need is greatly appreciated as we walk together in the ‘truth and the light’ of our God. As a Catholic school, we advocate for, educate about, and raise funds for the St Vincent de Paul Society.
