Homeless young mothers without hope in our Diocese desperately need our help this Christmas

CatholicCare’s Houses to Homes is one of the vital services supported by our Diocese through Parramatta Catholic Foundation.

Houses to Homes gives hope, help, compassion, care and shelter to disadvantaged, homeless young mums who have nowhere and nobody else to turn to. Every year, 30 to 50 mothers and mothers-to-be, rely on Houses to Homes for safe shelter, food and the skills to build a better life.

This Christmas, we’re counting on your faith, hope and charity to support homeless mothers and children in crisis. Your compassionate gifts and prayers will support the shelter, independent living and parenting skills programs that homeless mums desperately need.
