Sydney
Holy Family Services, Marayong
In 1980, Brother Albert's Home was opened in response to the need of the ageing Polish Catholic community in Sydney. In later years, the home expanded to accommodate people who were still capable of living independently. Holy Family Services is comprised of an aged care facility, retirement village and out-of-school-hours care and is a Registered Training Organisation.
It is the sponsored ministry of our Holy Spirit Province.
Our Sisters minister at Holy Family Services in nursing, pastoral care, mission direction, and on the organisational Board of Directors.
