Dear Parents
During the season of Lent we are asked to contribute to Project Compassion. Some of you may remember contributing to Project Compassion in the past. For those of you that are not familiar with Project Compassion, it is Caritas Australia’s main annual fundraising campaign. It enables 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.
Project Compassion supports Caritas Australia’s programs both overseas and here in Australia. It is an extraordinary demonstration of the faith, empathy and generosity of those who are supporters. It is the lifeblood of Caritas Australia; without it, they could not do the vital work that they do, such as creating lasting change for people living in some of the most vulnerable and low-income regions in the world.
The theme of Project Compassion is For All Future Generations. This year, they focus on the stories of four remarkable, resilient people from Nepal, Australia, Zimbabwe and Vietnam. Each of these stories demonstrates the powerful impact that each one of us can have for all future generations.

Reminder
The Year 3 Reconciliation candidates and their parents are required to attend a Faith evening on Tuesday the 7th March at 7pm in the Jarrow Room at St Bede's. The purpose of this evening is to reflect on the importance of Reconciliation within the Catholic tradition and how we as people of faith, can show forgiveness in our everyday lives. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions regarding this evening.
Take Care
