St Vincent De Paul | Blessed Ozanam Appeal 2026

Many of you will know that St Vincent de Paul works to support people in need—both here in our local community and overseas. One way we do this internationally is through twinning. Twinning is where one local area (Conference) directly supports another somewhere in the world walking alongside our fellow members in developing countries—offering spiritual support, financial assistance, and mutual encouragement. Here in the Canberra/Goulburn region, we have 57 “twin” Conferences in Indonesia, India, Thailand, and the Solomon Islands. Your support and financial assistance is paramount to the ongoing of this part of the work of SVdP. Donations may be via the web link https://www.vinnies.org.au/act-surrounds - reference 1423Twinning. There are also envelopes available in the Church. Of course, as always, we ask for your prayers to give strength and assistance to those working in these under resourced areas.
