Works of Mercy extend God’s love, compassion and mercy to those most in need. At St. George’s Parish we concentrate our time, skills and attention on the vulnerable, marginalized and weak. We help our community with their physical and material needs.

We should be guided towards acts of mercy, charity and compassion. Our role is to defend and advocate on behalf of the poor, vulnerable and marginalized. To provide hospitality and friendship to the friendless. To provide and support multi-faith programs and work collaboratively with community groups and associations. 

A fundamental aspect of promoting mercy is care of the unborn and of those at the end of their natural life.

St George’s has a Pastoral Visiting team that visits those unable to come to church.  We take the Holy Eucharist to those who wish it and stay for a visit if both parties have time. If you or someone you know would like a visit please contact us by filling out the form on the Contact us page.

St. George’s Parish is also actively involved with and supports:

• Wymering Manor, a residence for women with severe and persistent mental illness.
