ACM CITY
OFFICE ALEXANDRIA
The
city office is situated in 77 Buckland St Alexandria, in a
house provided by the Sydney Archdiocese. From this office
Indigenous Speakers respond to requests from parishes and
schools, to speak on various issues especially Reconciliation,
or to provide some aspect of liturgical expression, such as
the Smoking Ceremony. We also answer queries, or even provide
interviews for those who wish to find out more about Aboriginal
Issues and the Catholic Church. The Administration of the
accounts is done from this office. Caring for those in need
is part of our work here, and we have a welfare office named
the St Mary's Mum-Shirl St Vincent de Paul Conference. Food
provided by St Vincent de Paul is distributed to the needy
by our Welfare Officer. We also help with funeral costs; and
support immediate family who need to travel to a funeral.
We give support to the people in their time of grief. We help
with the planning of the Liturgy for funerals, the preparation
of the Church, and usually the people request the Service
be held here at St Mary's and conducted by the priest Assistant.
