Lent

During Lent, we are called as Christians to think of how we help others in our community.

One way that we are doing this at Holy Family is through Project Compassion.

Today for Harmony Day all of the gold coin donations received will go towards supporting this wonderful charity. Each class prayer table also has a project compassion money box, where students can contribute by bringing in any of their spare change during Lent.

Project Compassion

Project Compassion encourages Australians to raise much-needed funds to help alleviate poverty, promote justice and uphold dignity in the most vulnerable and marginalised communities in the world. Catholic schools, parishes, and the wider Australian public participate in a diverse range of fundraising and awareness raising activities and events to support Caritas Australia’s programs both overseas and here in Australia. Project Compassion is an extraordinary demonstration of the faith, empathy and the generosity of their supporters, which enables them to do the wonderful work that they do.
