MINI VINNIES NEWS

We are very excited to announce that we made $514 this year for St Vincent De Paul, through our Milo Mornings.  A huge thank you to all our supporters, especially those who came every week and bought a milo, or two!  We will be donating this money to our local St Francis of Assisi conference, so that they can assist people in our local community who are in need.   

VINNIES WINTER APPEAL

On Monday, the donations of clothes for Vinnies was collected.  Thanks to the families who contributed clean clothes for the Society to use.   We will be leaving the box in the foyer, for any families who may have a clean out of wardrobes over the holidays.
