This month we join the world community in acknowledging the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women.

November 18, "Christmas in Peru", the Auditorium, 7-11 Mount St, North Sydney.
Mary MacKillop once said “Never see a need without doing something about it” and that is what the Sisters of Saint Joseph have been doing in Peru. We are helping women, their families and ultimately the community and you can too by buying our wonderful hand made fair trade products from Peru. Please help us give them a skill for life.
