ANGLICARE   The care that changes lives

 

Since 1856, ANGLICARE has been caring for children, and families, the abused, the frail aged, victims of poverty and tragedy.

 

Lives changing and communities growing by care through Jesus Christ

Bowral Public School

There is a strong relationship with Bowral Public School which goes back to very early times. The School uses the land at the rear of the Church property as additional playing field space as well as the Parish hall for physical training classes.

Several members of St Jude's join with people from three other churches in Bowral to teach Scripture at the School every Tuesday during term from 11.30 a.m. - 1.00 p.m.

Bowral High School

Josie Vittiglio, an active member of St Jude's, is employed by the Joint Board of Christian Education of Bowral/Mittagong Churches Inc.

Josie teaches Scripture to 200 Year 7 students, and usually has a Years 8-10 elective class for one Semester. All the Christian Churches in Bowral and Mittagong support this venture.
