Social Services Sunday – 15 September 2024

Social Services Sunday is observed in the Catholic Archdiocese of Melbourne on the third Sunday of September. In 2024, this falls on Sunday 15 September. On this day we give thanks to the dedicated work that the thousands of staff and volunteers of Catholic social services do to serve the poor, disadvantaged and marginalised in our communities.

What do we know about those who perpetrate domestic and family violence? CSSV and member organisations appear at Parliamentary Inquiry

The Victorian Legislative Assembly Legal and Social Issues Committee announced an Inquiry into data on perpetrators of Family Violence aims to address the gaps in capturing data on family violence perpetrators in Victoria. CSSV and member organisations were invited to address the Inquiry Committee.

HOLDING THE LIGHT

Now in its ninth year, the service is invitational and held in a spirit of welcome. While it is held within the Christian tradition, it is open to anyone who might wish to join together and take part in a ritual and is a time for anyone to engage in a period of quiet, lament, and prayer/reflection on the tragic results of violence and in hope for a better future for our communities.
