Remembering, Honouring & Celebrating
The annual Thanksgiving Mass is a significant event in the St Vincent de Paul Society Victoria's calendar. It takes place traditionally at St Francis Church in the CBD where the Society was established in March 1854 and the venue for its first meeting.
The Thanksgiving Mass is a special event that takes place on 8 November, as part of the Remembrance Masses that happen across the state. The Thanksgiving Mass traditionally takes place at St Francis' Church in Melbourne's CBD and a live stream is provided for those who cannot attend.
This event is a significant one for all of members, volunteers and employees and we aim to ensure participation by family members and friends to all who are recognised in the service.
Our Thanksgiving Mass remembers, honours and celebrates the lives of those who have passed away during the last 12 months.
