Our ISAIAH 61 project and partnerships<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Our ISAIAH 61 project reaches out to the poorest and most vulnerable in our community. We reach out directly as well as partnering with Lennox Head and Ballina Lions Clubs, the Orange Sky Laundry Van, Alcoholics Anonymous,\u00a0 AL-Anon (for families and friends of alcoholics),\u00a0 and Narcotics Anonymous.\u00a0 \u00a0Each of these partnerships allows us to send tentacles of care and of God\u2019s love out into our community either through direct and specific ministry or by allowing groups to rent our premises.\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n

The Parish is always seeking opportunities to be active in caring for the wider Ballina community.\u00a0 If you would like to help, please contact the Parish Office for information.<\/em><\/p>\n

Saturday BBQ Breakfast<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

On the 2nd, 3rd and 4th Saturday of each month we offer a big breakfast from 8 – 10 am at St Mary’s, Ballina. This is free, and available to anyone in the community. This includes giving away warm clothing from the Op Shop, and items made by our craft group such as blankets, beanies and gloves.<\/em><\/p>\n

Community Christmas Lunch<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
