Shrove Tuesday
Students at St Augustine's enjoyed pancakes last week for Shrove Tuesday!
Ash Wednesday
On Ash Wednesday, we began the season of Lent with our Ash Wednesday liturgy. Lent is about prayer, fasting and giving in preparation for Easter. Many students have made Lenten promises. As part of giving, we are holding Coins 4 Caritas - details below!
Project Compassion
This year, Project Compassion brings you the stories of three resilient women from three different corners of the world. They are facing vastly different challenges, but are all united by one dream: to create a better tomorrow for all future generations.
Meet Ronita from the Philippines. Ronita lives with her husband and two children in a barangay (local district) in Quezon City, which is situated in Metro Manila in the Philippines. She went back to school to finish her education so that she could earn income to support her children.
Meet Leaia from Samoa. Not having access to a reliable source of clean water was very difficult for Leaia and her family. But, with the support of Caritas Australia, a water tank was installed at their home, improving their health and living conditions.
Meet Memory from Malawi. Memory, the eldest daughter from a rural Malawian family, trained to become a carpenter and is now a trailblazer for future generations of women in her village.
Throughout Project Compassion, you will get to know the stories of Ronita, Leaia and Memory. Journey with them as they forge a path to a brighter future for all generations.
If you can, please donate to Project Compassion by supporting our 'Coins for Caritas' fundraiser.
Sacraments
This Sunday 17 of our students will be making the first step in the preparation journey for the Sacraments of Reconciliation and First Eucharist.
We ask that as members of our school community, you keep these students in your prayers over the coming months.
