Project Compassion Fundraising - Ash Wednesday
Ash Wednesday – 2 March ~ Join us for Mass at 2pm
Next week the season of Lent begins with Ash Wednesday, which also marks the beginning of the annual Caritas Australia Project Compassion Appeal. Donations to Project Compassion allows Caritas Australia, the Catholic Agency for International Aid and Development, to work with local communities around the world to end poverty, promote justice and uphold dignity.
The theme of Project Compassion 2022 is ‘For All Future Generations’ and reminds us that the good that we do today will extend and impact the lives of generations to come. It invites us to make the world a better place by working together now and finding long-term solutions to global issues.
We are encouraging our students to put compassion into action this Lent through prayer, fasting and almsgiving (by supporting Project Compassion).
Each student will receive a Project Compassion box for their donations or students can bring money into the class Project Compassion box. More information for families can be found at the website at: lent.caritas.org.au
