Matt Talbot Conference

The growth of a Conference out of Matthew Talbot has occurred since 2021.

Initially, Tony Cranney, former Central Council President, has been in discussions with Leo Tucker, Executive Director, Mission and Spirituality, and Joy Bowen, of the Mission Team based at the Matthew Talbot.

Conversations  led to action, and the Matt Talbot Conference started

The initial role of a Conference at the Matthew Talbot Hostel, Woolloomooloo remains a spiritual/pastoral role, which is encouraged in our Vincentian Rule in that “Promoting a life of prayer and reflection, both at the individual and community level, and sharing with their fellow members.”

Further development and diversification is aimed for 2023.

If you have questions, contact Lissa Votano (President, Lissa.Votano@vinnies.or.au or Joy Bowen.

Metropolitan Reconciliation Action Committee

The St Vincent de Paul Society NSW launched our first Reconciliation Action Plan in February 2018. In progressing this work, we are committed to being guided by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, communities and organisations on the best means to advance reconciliation.   

With the assistance of Reconciliation Australia, the RAP details the Society’s commitments and key actions under three priority areas – Respect, Relationships and Opportunities.   

A State-wide Reconciliation Action Plan Working Group has been established to oversee implementation of key actions within each of these priority areas. The Metropolitan Regional RAP Committee has been established to support local implementation of the Vinnies NSW Reconciliation Action Plan and related activities.  The Metropolitan RAP committee has representation from various areas of Vinnies, including Membership representation from Broken Bay Central Council, Greater Western Sydney Central Council and Sydney Central Council. 

Please contact SJ Rep Michelle,Fonti@vinnies.org.au or John.Ferguson1@vinnies.org.au for further details.
