The School of the Nativity is raising donations for the Moore Street Soup Kitchen and the Adelaide Day Centre for the Homeless. We are asking for donations of new or excellent condition items, including: - Blankets, Sleeping bags, Small tents, Raincoats, Jackets, Gloves, Scarves, Hats, Track pants and Small umbrellas. If you can help with any of these items, please bring them to the Church by Friday, 7th June. A PPC member will ensure they are delivered to the school.
Power up with Vinnies
Will you 'pay forward' all or some of your energy bill saving to someone who really needs it?
Backed by ABC Radio Adelaide after a suggestion on-air by Adelaide property developer Theo Maras, Vinnies SA has launched a campaign to encourage people to ‘pay forward’ the $300 discount each household will receive off their energy bill in the recently announced Federal budget measure, if they are in a position to do so.
Our Vision, Our Mission, Our Calling
Some months ago Father Mwaura asked the Parish Pastoral Council and Parish Finance Council, as representatives of Nativity parishioners, to commence the development of a Vision, a Mission and ultimately a Strategic Plan for Nativity Parish. The reason for this is to help focus PPC, PFC and our Ministries and groups on what we all agree are the KEY areas where, as a parish, we can and should make a difference.
As a result of this process the PPC/PFC developed the following
VISION for the Nativity Parish
We strive to be a welcoming, growing and vibrant catholic community that embraces the diversity of people and culture through our love of God.
The MISSION of the Nativity Parish
Through faith we build a Eucharistic community of loving, humble and compassionate People of God by reaching out to all.
The Priority Areas the Nativity Parish STRATEGIC PLAN needs to focus on:
Developing the connection between our church and our school
Engagement of young people and young adults
Welcoming new people
Outreach to the wider community
Faith formation
A Prayer of solidarity with Ukraine
Worship at Aberfoyle Park and Blackwood
