Thank you, Global Kingdom Ministries, for supplying the children of Good Neighbours with new backpacks and supplies for their return to school.

Join us September 30 for our annual Staff and Volunteer Appreciation night – click the image for details (~230k PDF). Lizzi (second from left) celebrated her last day of student placement at St. John’s with St. Macrina Counselling Services. As a student from Tyndale, Lizzi worked within the community from January until August, to offer therapy and counselling services under supervision. Lizzi was referred to us by St Barth’s Anglican Church, and is originally from Russia. She worked hard to offer support to many people in need of counselling, and learned a lot from people in the community during her time with us. We were fortunate to experience Lizzi’s presence and kindness these past months, and we wish her the best in her future endeavors. Claudio Mario Betti, director of the Rome campus of the Australian Catholic University, and original founding member of Sant’Egidio Community, visited the Mission in August for a mutual exchange of ideas and experiences of decades of working on the peripheries of the world.
