Lent has begun so the countdown to the Easter Season is on. Lent is a time of PRAYER, FASTING and CHARITY in the Catholic Church.

This year the College will again be supporting Caritas through Project Compassion. Project Compassion is Caritas Australia's annual Lenten fundraising and awareness-raising appeal. Millions of Australians come together in solidarity with the world's poor to help end poverty, promote justice and uphold dignity.

Each week during Lent we will be sharing with the students during PC a different story about a person and their community that Project Compassion is supporting. 

This Week is Shirley's story. The links are below if you would like to read or watch:

On Thursday every week until the Easter holidays, student volunteers will be going to PC to collect each PCs Project Compassion box.

We hope that you can give all you can for this worthy cause.

Regards,

Caroline Devlin
