During Advent and Christmas time, the St Vincent de Paul Society of Victoria encourages us to give to those in need.

Christmas holds a very special place in our hearts, as we prepare for one of our busiest but most rewarding times of the year. Sadly, we find that some local families feel the pinch even more. 

As part of our Catholic Social Teaching, we want to give to others in need as Jesus taught us. We need to reflect during Advent and remember that for us, it is a time for giving, reflecting and being with those we love. 

We are asking that on Friday, Dec 3rd, the children bring a gold coin donation to school then each class will purchase a gift for a local child in need this Christmas.
