doing it differently - Father Bob Maguire Foundation
06 May, 2008
South Melbourne, where the Parish of Sts. Peter and Paul is situated, was a traditional social and ceremonial meeting place for a number of Aboriginal tribes. When gold was discovered in Victoria, fortune seekers flocked to a tent city which had been erected in South Melbourne - this was known as Canvas Town.
We now have our own Canvas Town, or Tent City, in the grounds of my church - we are hoping to alert people to the despair and lack of resources our clients live with. The homeless, the lost, the tired and hungry - can all pass through Tent City to the back of the Parish House and be nourished in body and soul.
