Our Mission
We Are a Community
There are hundreds of men and women in Melbourne who are experiencing homelessness, who find themselves disconnected, confused and looking for a safe place and help to access services. St Mary’s House of Welcome works with people who are in real need, to help them connect back into the community.
Our Mission
Inspired by the spirit of the Daughters of Charity, St Mary’s House of Welcome seeks to further social justice by standing with people who are disadvantaged offering support, solutions and hope.
Our Values
-
Each person is a unique creation of God. Respect is a building block to authentic relationships and engendering of hope.
-
Relationships are essential for building trust and are a basis for wellbeing and spiritual fulfilment.
-
Welcoming brings to life the acknowledgement and celebration of the dignity and worth of each person.
-
Responsiveness is a Gospel imperative which pursues positive social change and challenges us to reflect on and evaluate what we do.
-
Hope gifts us with the vision to realise the potential in our lives, encourages us to achieve, and sustains us in difficult and challenging times.
