Thank you SWF for Our New Chaplain!
Thanks to the NSW Seafarers Welfare Fund, our Mission has a new part-time Chaplain – and he speaks five languages! Welcome Reverend Canon David Wong whose language and pastoral skills especially in Mandarin and Cantonese, will be especially helpful to the many Chinese seafarers who visit our Centre. The position was able to be funded thanks to the support of the Port Authority of NSW and NSW Ports through the first round of NSW Seafarer Welfare Fund grants. So drop into our Centre in Millers Point to meet Chaplain David who enjoys hearing about seafarers’ lives and concerns.
