Homelessness continues to be a pressing issue across Australia, affecting thousands of individuals and families. Homelessness Week is not only a time for reflection, but a call to action - to learn, support, and stand alongside those experiencing hardship.

Together, let us honour and remember those who have died while experiencing homelessness or hardship, through ecumenical prayer, music, reflection and a spirit of compassion.

Whether you want to commemorate a friend, stand in solidarity, or experience community connection: all are welcome.

Building on last year's inaugural service, this year’s memorial carries the theme “Wrapped in Love”, a reflection of both the physical reality of using blankets or sleeping bags when sleeping rough, and the loving embrace of compassion, dignity and hope through people who care.

This special evening of remembrance will include music, prayer, reflection and community connection.

Hosted by the Diocese of Parramatta. Free to attend, no registration required.
