The Church Appeal is made to parishes throughout Melbourne annually, which is our opportunity to speak directly to parishioners about our work, and ask for their support. Centacare trains volunteers, provides speaker's notes and organises them to speak to parishes on our behalf. As representatives of the diverse community that Centacare serves, volunteers do not have to be Catholic to speak to parishes. |
