Project Compassion: Caritas
Caritas Australia’s Lenten fundraising and awareness appeal, Project Compassion has been launched for 2025, calling the community to Unite Against Poverty this Lent. This year’s theme deeply resonates with the teachings of Jesus, who showed great care for the poor and marginalised.
Your generosity this Lenten season will enable Caritas Australia to provide life-changing support to communities around the world facing poverty, food insecurity, lack of education and water scarcity, whilst building resilience against future challenges. Together, as a school community, we can bring hope and community to those most in need. By donating to Project Compassion, you will be answering the Gospel’s call to care for our global family and walk alongside those most vulnerable.

Ash Wednesday
On Wednesday, the 5th of March, we held our Ash Wednesday liturgy, marking the beginning of Lent, a special time of preparation, especially in this year of Jubilee, to stop and reflect on how we can play our part in God’s hope for a world that is fair, just and peaceful. Lent prepares us for the season of Easter, the most important time in the Church’s calendar. It is a time of prayer, fasting and giving to others, when we think about all of our blessings and give thanks for all that God has given us.
During the liturgy, ashes were placed on the foreheads of each member of the school in the shape of a cross as a symbol, reminding us that during Lent we are trying to grow to be more like Jesus.
By praying, fasting and giving alms this Lenten season, we are reminded of Jesus’s death and resurrection. Jesus brought the promise of hope to all people so that we may, “have life and have it to the full” (John 10:10). The liturgy invited the whole school community to reflect on the significance of the Lenten season.
