Confirmation Upate & Project Compassion

Sacrament of Confirmation 2021

In conjunction with Fr Trung Nguyen SJ, Parish Priest, and St Kevin’s College we are arranging details for our Sacrament of Confirmation for 2021. In order to do so we need to know how many students intend to receive their Sacrament of Confirmation.

Please see the notice sent home with our students this afternoon and return to school by Wednesday 17th March.

Thank you.

This week finds us in the Third Week of Lent, and through Project Compassion we learn the inspiring story of Oliva, a 22-year-old woman from Tanzania. She did not have the opportunity to go to school and was embarrassed that she was unable to read, write or count. As an adult, her business was losing money because she couldn’t add up her money and give the right change to customers.

Then Oliva enrolled in Caritas Australia’s literacy and numeracy classes. She also set up a home classroom to teach her neighbours, for free, because they were too shy to attend larger classes.

Oliva has now graduated, attendance at her classes are growing, her kiosk is thriving and she is helping her children with their homework. She aims to become a pastor and run for leadership in the next local election.

Together let’s pray for the millions of adults that did not have the opportunity to receive an education. That with our support, and support of Caritas, they find new opportunities to learn and grow so they can be architects of their own development. Amen

Saint Oscar Romero is the inspiration for Project Compassion 2021, so in his words let us “Aspire not to have more, but to be more.”
