Orchard Hills (Mamre House)
Our Orchard Hills (Mamre House) centre is open Monday to Thursday. Please call to organise a time to come and visit us.
Catholic Care is committed to making sure nobody in our communities is left behind, so we provide much more than just services — we nurture spaces for people to come together.
Here, we support each other, learn together and build our communities for a brighter future.
No matter who you are, where you come from or what you might be going through, you are welcome at Catholic Care.
Our centres host a variety of groups, classes and types of support, with people from all backgrounds, cultures and walks of life. Groups and schedules vary week to week, so check in with your local centre for the latest information.
As well as our existing programs, we also support people looking to make new groups or run new activities. If you’re interested in coordinating an existing group, or would like to talk more about starting a new initiative, we’d love to hear from you.

On Mondays, I run a yarning circle, where everyone sits and talks about their day. We share stories, and people talk about what’s happening in their life – it’s a nice way for people to connect.
On Wednesdays, we have our sisterhood group for young mums. Back in the day, I coordinated didgeridoo lessons for young Aboriginal boys, as well as guitar lessons for boys and girls. We also have a financial counselling service for people struggling to pay their bills, and a grief counselling service. There’s support for everyone.
