As you may know, we have begun the Catholic Church Season of Lent, a period of 40 days where Catholics practise prayer, fasting, and almsgiving in preparation to celebrate Jesus' Resurrection at Easter time. Lent is also the time we commence our Project Compassion fundraising appeal, raising money for Caritas. Caritas is an aid agency of the Australian Catholic Church and is recognised as a charity in Australia working to eradicate poverty and injustice. Our first project compassion fundraiser was Crazy Hair Day, then we cooled down with a zooper dooper and had fish and chips. So far, we have raised around $800 which is just amazing. We still have egg guess, colouring in, major Easter Raffle and free dress.
