Somascan Mission Dinner Dance

07 February 2024

I recently had the honour of representing the Minister for Multiculturalism at the Somascan Missions Dinner Dance fundraiser in Liverpool. The Somascan Fathers have been staunch advocates for those who are transitioning out of our corrections and justice system. They are focused on ensuring that individuals who have been recently released or are experiencing incarceration have the best support, resources and tools to live successful lives in our community. Additionally, through their St Raphael counsel program, the Somascan Fathers provide free legal services to those in our region who need it most, including those in financial hardship, migrant communities and refugees. Supporting and advocating for some of the most marginalised and stigmatised people in our community demonstrates their commitment to the word and values of Jesus Christ. The event raised $235,063.40 to continue the fantastic work the Somascans do in my community. I congratulate them.
