Outreach

Jesus taught that whatever we do to the least of our brothers - feed them, clothe them, listen to them, love them - we do to him. (Matthew 25:45) We are called to love our neighbour as much as we love ourselves.

He also prayed that all believers would be one, as united as He is with His Father (John 17:21), and so we are always looking for more chances and ways to engage with our Christian brothers and sisters, as well as members of other faiths.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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 PaulChristmas Hampers

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

Ecumenism is about unity among Christian denominations and churches. Throughout the year the Churches of Wahroonga hold events to promote this idea.

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.
