Fr Rob

Father Rob Devlin continues as chaplain to the Soup Kitchen and Community Worker.  The Eucharist is celebrated weekdays at noon in the chapel and anyone is welcome. 

Some of Fr Rob's community work is among refugees with  RMS Refugee Resettlement.  He also assists with the journey of life of our Soup Kitchen guests through such work as attending at court, assisting with housing and visiting on the street.  “This work is fragmented, slow and challenging”, says Fr Rob.  Assisting refugees with accessing agencies –Government and non-government, is a slow process especially when language is a barrier.  Spending time with our guests on the streets or in their residences is an important outreach of Compassion care.

Father Rob says “It is a privilege to journey alongside people who live on the margins of life. Thanks to God, there are agencies like the Compassion Centre which enable us to bring the welcome of God to the afflicted.”
