St Patrick’s Day - St Michael’s Is Going Green
Friday 17 March is St Patrick’s Day and St Michael’s is going GREEN! Our Mini Vinnies Catholic Earthcare Committee has been discussing eco-friendly ideas to support charity. A big shout out to Chelsea Holden who has been researching eco-friendly fundraising ideas that we can use. On St Patrick’s Day everyone is encouraged to wear green and bring a donation of at least a gold coin. All money raised will go to Caritas Australia Project Compassion Campaign. The aim of their work is to address world poverty through education and equipping the poor and vulnerable with resources to help them live with dignity. The Mini Vinnies Catholic Earthcare Committee will meet to plan this day further.
