In February our parish agreed to raise $500.00 each for three ABM Projects: Aboriginal ministry in Gippslan; helping to establish a village fishing enterprise in Mindanao, the Philippines; and rehabilitation in Oro Province, PNG, after a cyclone. For more information about these mission projects see below.
We are very pleased to announce that, with the big collection at the annual BRIT dinner and individual donations, the $1500.00 has now been raised.
During November, we are involved with "Go for Gold," raising money for various projects funded by the ABM Auxiliary.
For more information about St Paul's mission activities contact Ian Smith.
Aboriginal Ministry in Gippsland Diocese
This project supports two Aboriginal Pastors in the Gippsland Diocese based at Lake Tyers and in Morwell. Their ministry helps families with pastoral care in times of bereavement, organising funerals, liaising with Church and other bodies, and also in the running of a Sunday school with Aboriginal elders. Project information can be downloaded here.

Rehabilitation in Oro Province
In November 2007, Cyclone Guba hit the Oro Province on the east coast of PNG and destroyed homes, farms, fresh water supplies and lives. This project is committed to rebuilding these communities.
