The Organisation
Western Sydney is Australia’s most culturally diverse region. Growth over the last 30 years has been driven by refugees and economic migrants from across Asia, India, Africa and South America. The region is marked by extreme disadvantage but with the growth of economic hubs there is also an emerging wealth.
It is within this dynamic that the Parramatta Catholic Foundation was established. The funds they raise are used to help, heal and serve the vulnerable, marginalised, homeless and those in need. The agencies and ministries they support provide pastoral care and chaplaincy, family and parenting support and education services, refugee and migrant support, disability services, gambling and financial counselling, drop in and neighbour centres, and care for the homeless.
