The next shared grade mass will be on the 8th of November commencing at 9.30 am with Kindergarten and Year 6 in attendance – parents and carers are most welcome to join.

St Vincent de Paul Christmas Card Competition

This year, we’re looking for five beautiful designs to use as the official Vinnies NSW Member Christmas Cards for 2023, designed by you!

What are we looking for?

The designs for these cards are used by Vinnies NSW members to gift to one another at Christmas time, and in some cases to on-sell as a fundraiser for their Good Works. It is worth noting that the Christian meaning for Christmas is very important for Vinnies members, so designs that are reflective of this are likely to be preferred, but all designs will be considered!

You can use any artistic medium you like – draw, paint, craft, digital design – just keep in mind that it’s going to need to look good when scanned or captured by photo and re-printed. And of course, all designs must be your own original artwork.

We’re looking forward to seeing your festive designs!
