About Us

The Church must act in co-operation with non-profit and public service agencies, to prevent abuse and all forms of injustice, while reaching out to comfort, heal and empower those in need. There is no neutral ground in the universe.

“Every millimetre of space and every second of time is claimed by God and counter claimed by Satan.”

By being involved in the work of social justice, the Church can boldly proclaim that this world is God’s world. Fr John Chryssavgis

Our Vision

The most fundamental need of people is something that most people take for granted - a meaningful place in a healthy community, a sense of belonging.

Without it, drug rehab, improved housing or employment programs have little effect. Without it, people remain trapped in a lifestyle that is difficult to escape. When people do not feel like they belong, they just cannot seem to recover.
