The Eileen O'Connor Ministry for the Poor Trust

The trust's giving philosophy is deeply rooted in the mission of the Sisters of Charity of Australia, driven by 'the love of Christ' to respond with courage, resilience, and attentiveness to 'the cry of the poor'. Since 1838, this has involved tirelessly serving the sick and poor, founding hospitals, and providing educational opportunities. Their work extends to supporting First Nations Australians, engaging in justice initiatives, combating human trafficking, providing community support in Downs and West regions, and ministering in remote and rural areas. The trust also incorporates the 'Laudato Si'' principles, emphasizing care for the Earth.
