Today is Social Services Sunday in the Catholic Archdiocese of Melbourne. We pray and give thanks for the thousands of staff and volunteers of our 43 Catholic social services organisations, and the many parish communities, who together serve those who are vulnerable and in need within our communities.
With the drawn out overlay of COVID-19, the impact on already marginalised and disadvantaged groups is compounded; it is more necessary than ever to work together to fulfil the Gospel imperatives to stand with and serve the poor, disadvantaged and marginalised; and work for a just, equitable and compassionate society.

A reminder that this Sunday, 19 September, is ‘Social Services Sunday’ within the Catholic Archdiocese of Melbourne. We've prepared a Parish Resource Pack, which includes a newsletter blurb, suggested prayer and homily notes and practical actions. See: bit.ly/3CgmjIf
Social Services Sunday provides an opportunity for all of us to pray and give thanks for the staff and volunteers across Victoria (in our 43 member organisations) and the 200,000 people who they together work to serve each year. We also acknowledge and give thanks for our parish communities who are often at the forefront of providing practical support, care and service to those in need within their local communities, and beyond.
When parish communities and social service organisations are connected and able to work together, great work is both done and is possible.
