Acknowledgement of Country: As we gather as a community, we think of the traditional custodians of this land, the Pangerang People of the Yorta Yorta Nation. We would also like to pay respect to elders past and present. As it was along the banks of the Ovens and Kings Rivers that Pangerang People lived harmoniously for thousands of years. We continue to walk towards reconciliation and recognise the continuing connection to Country of the Aboriginal people.
Over the past 12 months, the society in Wangaratta has fielded 2500 requests for emergency aid, and has spent $200,000 on food vouchers, education, accommodation, utilities, medical and transport assistance for people in need. Income from the Vinnies store and the generous support of parishioners and school communities throughout the year all contribute to raising these funds.
Congratulations to Brian and Mary Burgess to their 50th Wedding Anniversary. Greetings from your St. Patrick's Community
