Project Compassion

This week's feature story is on Bayan, a 12 year-old Syrian girl in Jordan. She has struggled to overcome the trauma of living in a conflict zone, facing the prospect of missing out on school. With Caritas Australia’s support, Bayan is excelling in her studies with ambitions to become an ophthalmologist. You can donate to the Project Compassion appeal by placing money in the boxes that were sent home at the beginning of Lent. More boxes can be collected from the Parish or by contacting the front office.
