On Wednesday we marked the beginning of Lent with our liturgical celebration for Ash Wednesday. We thank Fr Michael for leading us in our Lenten journey. There is a Christian tradition of giving to the less fortunate during Lent. Organised Lenten programs like Caritas mirror the kindness of God. Such programs help our self-reflection and evaluation of the way we live and challenge our lifestyle choices. Each child has been given a Caritas Project Compassion money box. We ask that you place spare change in it and return it to school at the end of the term. Caritas Australia uses the money raised from Project Compassion to create lasting change in many countries around the world.
