Want to make a difference?
Our Parish regularly provides assistance to many local charities, social justice and outreach organisations. Some of the organisations we support are listed below but not limited to. Please keep an eye out in the weekly parish bulletin for announcements on what the parish is doing.
Donations to Holy Spirit Parish
Holy Spirit Parish is a large community, covering the Gungahlin region, funded solely by your donations.
Donations are generally sourced from the second collection at Mass and occasionally from one-off donations. These donations fund outstanding loans on the church, office and presbytery buildings, pay parish staff and administrative costs and service programs held within the parish.
Your financial support enables the good works of the parish to continue.
If you would like to make a financial donation follow the Secure Online Payments option on this website or place your donation in a clearly marked envelope and deliver to the parish office or place in one of the weekly collection baskets.
St Vincent de Paul
The St Vincent de Paul Society is committed to actively and passionately speaking out against the causes of poverty and inequality on behalf of the people they serve.
The Society provides support by standing in solidarity with people who are living in poverty and experiencing disadvantage, especially the homeless, refugees and those living on very low incomes. More information.
