St Philip's Care

We believe that, in Jesus Christ, every human need can be tackled — for the body, the soul and the human spirit. Our Lord commands us to work to meet human needs in service to Him.

St Philip's offers service and care in many ways. Some of them are described below, with links to pages that have more information. However, if some other kind of care is better suited to your needs, we may be able to refer you.

If you need the help of a Priest call the Parish Office on (02) 6161 7334 for a message that will tell you who to contact and their number.

• Northbourne Community Centre.
  Each Monday for more than 22 years each Monday, the Centre provided a free nourishing lunch, together with physical and emotional support in a friendly, caring atmosphere — for low income/disadvantaged people of all ages. In 2018, the buildings that housed the Centre were demolished and it closed. Read the story of the Centre and Deacon Robin's ministry there.
