Project Compassion- Unite Against Poverty
Sydney Catholic Schools supports Project Compassion, an initiative that runs throughout the Church season of Lent each year. Project Compassion is an extraordinary, ongoing demonstration of faith, love and generosity of caring supporters, all in the name of justice and peace. The theme for Project Compassion 2025 is Unite Against Poverty.
During Lent, we prepare ourselves for Easter by giving things up that we don’t need. We focus on Prayer, Fasting and Almsgiving. Each of us can give something up during Lent. For example, instead of buying a special treat, we could simply save the coins & donate them to the Project Compassion boxes for Caritas Australia. The money raised will be collected and used to help communities in need. So this year, what will you give up for Lent? Through Project Compassion, your efforts will make a difference for communities around the world!
Lenten Craft
Our Year Six Mission Team leaders held a Lenten craft group last Friday, 14th March at second lunch. It was an opportunity for our K-3 students to take part in creating various Lent-themed crafts. Thank you to the Year Six Mission Team leaders for initiating this idea and for providing a reflective Lenten activity for our younger students to engage in.
