For nearly a decade, the church’s Monster Garage Sale has remained a strong and active presence in the community, raising an estimated $40,000 supporting local groups, charities and organisations.

The team will once again be “stripping out the church” to fill with donated goods that anyone can take home for a low price.

“We’ve got everything from bull bars to bassinets to books,” parish priest Simon Robinson said.

“We’ve got electrical goods, we’ve got picture frames, we’ve got paintings, all sorts of furniture, knick-knacks and a vast array of clothes as well.

“People can buy a snag at the front door, and we’re also concurrently running a wood raffle ... so we’ve got two and a half cubic metres of wood that we’re raffling because people are struggling to find good wood.”

All it takes to enter the raffle is a gold coin donation, with the winner to be announced on June 1.

“There’s refreshments available and people are welcome to stay as long as they like,” Fr Robinson said.

“They can be assured that every dollar they spend will go to someone in need.

“And we want to say thank you for the way Greater Shepparton and the wider region have supported it over the years, and the way they’ve blessed us enabled us to bless a lot of people who could use a bit of it ... we’re very grateful for the help.”
