What is the Advent Wreath?
The Advent Wreath is a liturgical symbol of Advent. It is made up of four candles: 3 violet and 1 rose. The violet candles represent our journey of renewing our hearts through repentance and turning towards God and the birth of His Son, Jesus.

CatholicCare Wollongong Foster Care Services
At CatholicCare Wollongong’s Permanency Support Program (PSP) we’re passionate about children’s wellbeing and their right to have stable, caring families and positive childhoods so they can thrive and reach their full potential.
We’re on a mission to find more people who will make great carers and help turn a child’s life around.
Sometimes children are unable to live with their parents or families and are in need of safe, nurturing care where they are able to heal and flourish. Often these children have experienced trauma. We need carers who can share their homes and lives and make a positive impact on a child's future for a short time or a lifetime.
