Corpus Christi Community Greenvale (CCCG), situated around 20 kilometres north of Melbourne, provides accommodation and support for around 80 marginalised older men with a history of homelessness, complex health needs or addiction.
Originally founded in 1974 by Mother Teresa and her Missionaries of Charity, CCCG was established as a refuge for men facing personal hardships. In 1977, the Missionaries of Charity entrusted the care of the home to the Archdiocese of Melbourne.
In January this year, VMCH officially merged with CCCG, securing the home’s long-term ability to support marginalised men for years to come.
A special welcoming Mass was celebrated by Archbishop Comensoli, co-celebrants Fr Dishan Candappa and Fr Michael Ryan SJ, attended by VMCH Board Chairman Julien O’Connell AO, VMCH CEO Sonya Smart, VMCH and CCCG Board members past and present, friends of CCCG, local MPs, VMCH staff and residents.
We (VMCH and CCCG) share a common mission and values to deliver compassionate care for people in need, particularly the vulnerable and marginalised,” said VMCH Board Chairman Julien O’Connell AO.
“VMCH’s fantastic reach and resources within the aged, disability and affordable housing and community services sectors will be an asset to CCCG residents. As Australia’s housing crisis continues to grow, it’s vital CCCG’s specialist work continues.
“We thank everyone for joining us here today, particularly Archbishop Comensoli, to celebrate the bright future of this important home.”
VMCH Chief Mission Officer Bridget O’Shannassy described the morning as a great way to welcome CCCG staff and residents to the VMCH family.
There was a lovely spirit through the Mass, with residents participating in the first reading and some of the prayers of the faithful.”
Resident Kenneth, 68, who moved to CCCG during the pandemic after a hip replacement, describes his experience as “extremely good” and credits the home with restoring his fitness and ending his severe depression.
