Volunteer with Centacare: Bring Joy to the Elderly in Mudgee!
Are you looking for a meaningful way to give back to your community?
Centacare Central West and Orana is seeking compassionate individuals to join their Aged Care Visitors Scheme in Mudgee.
With over 40% of elderly residents in aged care experiencing loneliness, your companionship can make a profound difference. Just two hours a month is all it takes to offer friendship and brighten someone's day at a local Mudgee aged care home.
Centacare provides comprehensive training and ongoing support to all new volunteers. If you have a heart for connecting with others and want to help combat loneliness, we encourage you to get involved!
Contact Louise Hennessy for more information on 0419 631 781 – phone or text anytime.
Warmth for Our Community:
Blankets Needed!
As winter truly sets in, many in our community are feeling the cold. Our St. Vincent de Paul Conference urgently needs blankets to distribute to those struggling to stay warm.
If you have any spare blankets you can generously donate, please bring them to the Parish Office or directly to the St. Vincent de Paul Conference. Your kindness can provide much-needed comfort and warmth this winter.
Thank you for your continued support!
Help Beautify Our Church with Flowers!
Do you find joy in the beauty of flowers and have a creative touch? Perhaps you have a knack for gardening?
Our parish is hoping to establish a Flower Committee to bring the beauty of floral arrangements to our worship space on a regular basis. This is a wonderful opportunity to contribute to the prayerful atmosphere of our church and share your talents with our community.
If you feel called to be a part of this ministry, bringing colour and life to our church through flowers, we would love to hear from you!
Please contact the Parish Office to express your interest.
Discover the Joy of Service at St. Mary's
St. Mary's Parish is a vibrant community where your time and talents can make a real difference. We offer a wide range of ministries, from welcoming newcomers to assisting with youth programs, teaching children about our faith, and supporting those in need.
Experience the rewards of giving back! Click here to find out more or contact the Parish Office at 6372 2122 during office hours to find out how you may give back.

ST MATTHEW'S CATHOLIC CHURCH, BOTOBOLAR
NOTICE
Fr Paul Devitt and the Mudgee Parish Finance Committee are exploring the option of selling St Matthew’s Catholic Church, Botobolar. This is due to the church not having been used for some years and the increasing insurance costs that apply to all church buildings.
We invite anyone with a Family history or a connection with St Matthew’s church to contact the Parish Office if they wish to discuss this.
Please contact us on (02) 6372-2122 or via email at office.mudgee@cdob.org.au by 20th August 2025.
