As this work became better known in the diocese, other parishes joined in and an increasing number of Anglican parishes and schools take turns to provide, cook and serve the meal, whilst volunteers of the Collective befriend the patrons. Over time wonderful relationships have developed, and many people, young and old, enjoy the communal breaking of bread. Click here for the current roster of parishes and schools that provide around 120 meals at the Centre every Saturday night. Over the years the Collective has experimented with a range of activities aimed at social and ecological justice. The Collective meets regularly for reflection, prayer, training and decision-making and conducts a relational ministry influenced by Anglican spirituality.
Membership now includes people from broad age, church and social groupings.
Anyone over 16 years of age, who is willing to participate in training and communal activities, is welcome to join us. For further information, contact Kevin Meehan , Chairperson of the Collective, or the St Mary Magdalene's Parish Office on 8223 5293.
