The parish-based initiative of the hampers for the people affected by the floods is winding up.  It has been a humbling experience to work on this project as I have met many people and shared their recovery journey.  I would like to take the opportunity to thank the staff, and students of St Clare’s for their generous donations of toiletries for the hampers.  As the hampers were delivered, we saw and heard firsthand stories of how people had been affected by the flood.  Many lost all their possessions and have been traumatised by the floods.  So, while these families start the road to recovery, I ask you to keep them in your prayers.  Once again St Clare’s you have seen a need and responded in the true spirit of Mary MacKillop.
