On behalf of the Mitcham Conference I would like to thank all who have supported the conference with food donations, Christmas Presents and those who gave cash donations. The response to the Christmas and Winter Appeals was very generous. In addition we would also like to thank The House of Books, St John’s Card Making Group and The Knights of the Southern Cross for their continued support of the Conference.
We could not operate at the level which we do without the help of the Parish and the ongoing support during the Corona Virus emergency is very much appreciated.
In addition to the above assistance we have also been able to deliver multiple items of furniture to the people we assist, with this being sourced from The Eastern Emergency Relief Network.
Ross Hancock - Conference President.
The Society is a lay Catholic organisation that aspires to live the gospel message by serving Christ in the poor with love, respect, justice, hope and joy, by working to shape a more just and compassionate society.
It is a caring Catholic charity offering "a hand up" to people in need. We do this by respecting their dignity, sharing our hope, and encouraging them to take control of their own destiny.
By offering and using our gifts and skills, and in the privilege of serving those in need, we also work towards the elimination of disadvantage with the aim of long term improvement within our community. Assistance can be requested via a call to the St Vincent de Paul Call Centre on 1800 305 330.
Members of the Mitcham Conference are available each weekday for home visits as requested. In addition we have Bread Runs on Wednesdays as well as Saturdays. New volunteers and members are always welcome to join the Conference. The Conference President can be contacted via the St Johns Parish Office on 9401 6366
