Outreach
Here is some of the work undertaken by members of our parish in order to reach out to others in our society.
St Vincent de Paul
We are lucky to have a dedicated St Vincent de Paul chapter running at Wahroonga. This is a group of people who meet weekly for fellowship and to discuss ways they (and the entire parish, with their guidance) can reach out to those most in need in our community. We have a special connection with the people of Whalan, assisting those in need in their area. This is especially seen at Chrismas time, when the whole parish joins together to create food hampers for families.
Ecumenism
A New Direction For Ecumenism ‘Receptive Ecumenism’ – Learning about and
from each other’s faith and traditions: How can
we be part of it? On Saturday 27th February, Fr
Gerard Kelly, from the Catholic Institute of Sydney,
will lead a session from 10:30am to 12 noon in the
meeting room in the diocesan building at 29 Yardley
Avenue, Waitara exploring this topic. Please come
along and be part of it.
World Day of Prayer
Friday 5th March 2010. This year in our area, it is to be hosted at Wahroonga Presbyterian Church, Stuart Street, Wahroonga (opposite park) at 10.30am. Morning tea follows.
Our part (Holy Name) requires four readers this year. Any volunteers? Anyway it is only important to come along and perhaps bring a friend.

Inter-faith
As Australian society becomes more and more culturally, socially and spiritaully diverse, we are constantly looking for ways to reach out to members of other faiths, as well as those with no particular religious belief. If you would like to get involved in this area, or invite Holy Name to an inter-faith event, please let us know.
