Religious Education and Social Justice

Season of Lent

During this season of Lent, it is timely to remember that we are called to focus on becoming closer to Jesus by praying a little more, doing good deeds for others, going without something we like, and giving generously to others in need.

Project Compassion donations

Each year we support the work of Caritas Australia Project Compassion. Caritas Australia supports people in Australia and around the world. 

The theme for Project Compassion is Unite against poverty. This message invites us to step up for those who do not have the essential resources they need for their survival and those whose needs at this time are far beyond ours. By putting compassion into action, we can make a difference today, for all those who live in poverty around the world.

Donation boxes will be available in the prayer space in each Learning Community. We encourage children to place some money in the boxes so that by the end of Lent we can donate to Caritas Australia to support the wonderful work they do in caring for people in Australia and other countries.
