RELIGIOUS EDUCATION NEWS
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.
The 2023 Theme is ‘For All Future Generations’. This phrase is a powerful affirmation that the good we do today will extend and impact the lives of generations to come. It is also a call for all of us to play our part in making the world a better place by working together in finding long term solutions to global issues.
