The very best of our Mission is on display in Catholic aged care facilities
Summary
Catholic Health Australia's advocacy is deeply rooted in the mission and experiences of Catholic services across Australia. One example of this mission is St. Paul’s Hostel in Melbourne, which has served the Arabic-speaking community for nearly 30 years. CHA also visited the Little Sisters of the Poor St Joseph’s Home, where the sisters prioritize the marginalized, offering care regardless of financial status or background. CHA also saw firsthand the transformative work at VMCH Corpus Christi in Greenvale, where men facing homelessness and addiction find dignity and care in their later years. These visits exemplify the exceptional care and dedication that Catholic aged care facilities provide across the country, reflecting the core values of the Church’s mission.
