Year 10, Wellington College students, were set free for a day to partake in volunteer activities throughout the region.

On November 17, in line with Pope Francis’ call to promote the Second World Day of the Poor, Vinnies chapters in the wider Wellington region held free stores, providing thousands of items of clothes free of charge to those in need.

On Sunday 18 November the second World Day of the Poor was observed around the globe. Pope Francis established the World Day of the Poor to encourage the whole Church to reach out to those in need and let the poor know their cries have not gone unheard, the Pope said in his message this year. 

Thank you. St Vincent de Paul Feast Day Mass.  

On Saturday we collected a total of 107 boxes full off donated food for the Vinnies Food Bank!

Newtown Festival, on Sunday the 4th of March, was alive with music and joyous atmosphere complemented perfectly by yet another beautiful Wellington day.
