CWF Fundraiser: Friday 9th August

The Charitable Works Fund (CWF) is a centralised fund that supports the charitable and pastoral activities of the Archdiocese of Sydney. It is your charity, the charity of the Sydney Catholic community and your local parish. 

CWF funds six agencies:

• Aboriginal Catholic Ministry – promoting reconciliation and mutual understanding and providing pastoral care for Catholic Aboriginals and supporting them in the living of their Faith.
• CatholicCare – Formerly known as Centacare, delivers over 100 programs in Ageing, Disability, Children & Youth, Employment Training & Support, and Family Services.
• Chaplaincies – Our chaplaincy services in hospitals, prisons and universities provide much needed support to the lonely, sick, hurt and suffering in the community.
• Confraternity of Christian Doctrine (CCD) – provides religious education and Christian formation for Catholic children in public schools.
• Ephpheta Centre – provides services to the deaf and hearing impaired including sacramental, counselling, support and advocacy services.
• Seminary of the Good Shepherd – supporting the education and training of future Priests for the Archdiocese.

The generosity of those who contribute financially to the CWF, means that these agencies are able to assist thousands of people each year.

St Martha’s will be having a Green and Gold Day! A fun day to dress up in our Australian Colours - Green and Gold. Students are encouraged to wear something green or gold for a gold coin donation. So wear your Green and Gold on Friday 9th August to support CWF and honour our Australian Olympians!

St Martha's Feast Day

Monday was St. Martha’s feast day. Yesterday we gathered as a school to celebrate. John Burland visited our school to lead us in a faith celebration through song!

Fr. John led us in a beautiful mass, and the children enjoyed learning more about our beautiful Saint Martha. 

Thank you to our students, staff, parents and community for making this a wonderful celebration!
