Social Justice News: Project Compassion

"Cultivate with love the seeds of goodness, beauty and truth that God sows in every new generation."

Pope Francis

During the season of Lent we support Caritas Australia through the annual Lenten program, Project Compassion, which brings thousands of Australians together in solidarity with the world's poor to help end poverty, promote justice and uphold dignity.

The theme for Project Compassion 2018 is “For a Just Future”. By supporting Project Compassion a just future is possible for all generations, backgrounds, cultures and communities, who are part of one human family.

The prayer space in each Learning Area has a Project Compassion box available for children to place some money to assist us in raising donations for Caritas Australia who will use the money to supply services and materials to people in need.

Each Week of Lent Caritas features a different story for people to engage with. Focused on the theme “A Just Future,” and featuring a new country each week, the stories explain the issues faced in each country. This week is Bayan's story.

We aim to empower the students at Corpus Christi to build a just future for themselves and others, as Pope Francis has asked us to do, through cultivating “the seeds of goodness, beauty and truth that God sows in every new generation."
