The Vinnies CEO Sleepout is an initiative that raises awareness and funds for Australians experiencing homelessness. As part of the event, participants spend one night sleeping outside to gain a small insight into the reality faced by thousands of people across the country.
This year, Fr Josh is taking part in the Sleepout to help raise funds for the St Vincent de Paul Society and support Australians experiencing homelessness and hardship. To donate, please click HERE. There will also be an opportunity to give cash at Sunday Masses.

A Year of Yes Prayer
Today and every day I say Yes to you O Lord.
In the same way that Mary said yes to your invitation, I say Yes to your Son’s presence in my life.
May my yes, by the power of your Holy Spirit, allow you to use all the talents, skills and gifts you have given me for the purpose of building up Your Body in our community.
We make this prayer through Christ our Lord. Amen.
