FIRST RECONCILIATION- 10am Saturday 26th March

The following students will make their First Reconciliation this Saturday at St Catherine's Church. Please pray for the children and their families. Liana and Cooper will make their First Reconciliation early in Term 2.

The season of Lent began with Ash Wednesday, which also marks the beginning of the annual Caritas Australia Project Compassion Appeal. 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. This years’ theme is ‘For all Future Generations’.

We encourage you to put your compassion into action this Lent through your prayer, fasting and almsgiving by supporting Project Compassion. Each family has  received a Project Compassion box for your donations or you can donate online via the Caritas Australia website at: lent.caritas.org.au  If you choose to collect during Lent, please return the boxes to school so we can add the school donations to St Catherine's Parish Donations.
