Assisting our senior community members

Over the past five years, the Assyrian Church of the East in Sydney has been researching and attempting to find a suitable solution for the needs of the disadvantaged members of our community and the elderly. Above is a picture of the proposed site (rear of St. Mary's Church), for the construction of the Nursing home.

Consultations have been conducted with relevant government organisations to discover the most adequate way for the Church to establish a retirement village and nursing home.
Many meetings have also taken place with the elderly, so that the Church is fully satisfied that its plans meet their requirements and thoughts towards the nursing home.

Finally it was decided that the future, 12 to 15 appropriate houses will be erected at the rear of St Mary's Church and these houses will be rented out to the elderly. Our goal is to organise and improve the lives of the elders in our community.

Another program, which the Assyrian Church of the East in Sydney is striving towards, is the establishment of a medical centre for our Church and community members in Sydney. Consisting of a large number of Assyrian Physicians in all fields of medicine committed to assist their community members, requiring medical assistance.

This centre will be known as ASSYRIAN MEDICAL CENTRE. With the help of our Lord and community members, we are hopeful that one day, the Church in Australia will expand this centre to a well known Private Hospital in this country.

We pray that the Lord assist our Church in Australia under the leadership of His Grace Mar Meelis Zaia and all the faithful of our community, so that we may succeed with this good and exalted aim for the advancement of our Church and Community.
