The Winter 2026 issue of The Record showcases how the St Vincent de Paul Society is turning compassion into action across Australia. It highlights the impact of 1,614 leaders and more than 44,000 supporters behind this year’s Vinnies CEO Sleepout, which has raised a record $10.5 million (and counting!) for homelessness services. The issue also covers the Society’s advocacy on tax reform, human rights and refugees, celebrates volunteers and emerging leaders, explores international connections through the Oceania Partnership Program, and features an article about Stella Maris in recognition of the International Day of the Seafarer.
