Today we celebrated Christmas with the David’s Place community.
Due to COVID the celebration was a little different to previous years however we still managed to reflect on the past year and celebrate the friendships and companionship the David’s Place community provide to each other.
It’s truly a day of rejoicing, joy, music, flowers, and celebration of Mass, we are all together once more! The organ plays again; strains of beautiful violin descant and melody lift the spirits, and the cantor raises our prayers to heaven with her song.

Our Federal Member, Dave Sharma MP, visited Canice’s Kitchen this week. He was impressed by the Kitchen’s sustainability and ability not only survive but to grow through COVID. Alongside a daily meal service, the Kitchen now provides additional support to its guests. In addition to regular visits from Orange Sky Laundry and Thread Together, we are providing weekly access to St Vincent’s Homeless Health, an employment and coaching service, as well as a community participation program which will offer guests the chance to work alongside qualified chefs to gain skills and confidence.

Dear friends,
The year is fast coming to a close and I want to give you some of the flavour of our two houses. Recently I had a visit from a young friend, Joe Finsterer. He is studying film production and has done a 5 minute video interview with myself on our life here in The Rectory.
