Mercy in Action Awareness and Fundraising
In Term Three, part of celebrating being a Mercy community is spent highlighting a number of Mercy organisations working to support people in need. We explore ways to take action as a Mercy community and find out more about the needs that these organisations meet and how we can help.
Once again, this year, we will create awareness of and collect donations for McAuley Community Services for Women and Mercy Works.
McAuley Community Services for Women is changing lives and tackling complex and connected problems. They support women and children who have faced family violence and homelessness to take control of their lives.
