On Friday 14 th May, 2021 St Mary’s House of Welcome in Fitzroy, Melbourne celebrated 60 Years of service. In a COVID safe way we attended the launch of a video made to mark the occasion. About 40 people from a wide cross section of the SMHOW community gathered for talks, prayer, afternoon tea, the cutting of the cake and a specially made video. Clients, volunteers, staff, other local welfare agencies, political leaders, Vicar for Social Services were represented along with Sisters Margaret Armstrong and Debra McCarthy. Here is the video!   https://youtu.be/W6Dk3OksA1E Congratulations to all!
