Make a difference
‘Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.’ 1 Peter 4:10
By giving to the Diocese of Lismore, you are helping us continue in our mission of faith, hope, and charity. Donations go directly to the Diocese of Lismore Benevolent Fund to provide support for people who are experiencing hardship and are most vulnerable. Every dollar that is generously donated to the Benevolent Fund will be used for charitable purposes.
The Diocese currently has the following funds that you can contribute to:
General gift fund
This is to support people and not-for-profit organisations that may be experiencing hardship due to factors such as financial strain, unemployment, or crises that disrupt their daily lives. This includes people affected by homelessness, those seeking refuge from domestic violence, and individuals in need of support as they look to rebuild their lives.
Natural disaster gift fund
Donations are used to help people in our communities that have been impacted by disasters and emergencies. The funds will be used to help individuals and families with accommodation, food, clothing, health and other related services.
Prison chaplain gift fund
The prison chaplain ministry provides hope, dignity and spiritual guidance to inmates who are forgotten by society. Prison chaplains are employed by the Diocese, and their wage costs are funded by a NSW Government grant. Donations will be used to cover operational costs; allowing chaplains to fulfil their roles as the hands and feet of Jesus.
Every contribution, large or small, makes a difference. We thank you for your generosity and for helping us bring Christ’s love to our communities.
