Project Compassion
Caritas Australia is Hope in Action
As a College, in the season of Lent, we continue our fundraising efforts for the Caritas Australia Project Compassion Appeal
Pastoral Care groups have been asked to commit to raising small amounts of money by donating money from individual PC group fundraising event, and contributing to the Project Compassion collection boxes that are placed in each PC room. These donations raise funds for all Future Generations.
Donations to Project Compassion allows Caritas Australia, the Catholic Agency for International Aid and Development, to work with local communities around the world to alleviate poverty, hunger, oppression and injustice. With hope, support and compassion at the core of what Caritas does, they work towards a world where all people may thrive.
We encourage you to put your compassion into action this Lent through your prayer, fasting and almsgiving by supporting Project Compassion. Families wishing to donate can do so online via the Caritas Australia website lent.caritas.org.au
Caritas at Work!
We would love for you to take a few moments to watch the YouTube videos below to see and hear how Caritas is positively affecting the lives of individuals and communities and how small amounts of money join together to support the work that Caritas is doing.

“War is most terrible with great loss. At the end of the war, there are still consequences such as unexploded ordnance, causing many losses, casualties and death,” Thu says.
