Step Up Parish ProjectThe Step Up Parish Project (S.U.P.P) is our parish's key Social Justice initiative for 2020. We aim to help resettle in Canada some 300 refugees who Australia has detained in Papua New Guinea and Nauru. We will do this by raising funds to support Ads-Up Canada. Ads-Up is an initiative by Australian expats in Canada working in their community to sponsor Australia's refugees in Canada.
