Project Compassion 2025

Ash Wednesday - 05 March 2025

This week, the season of Lent begins with Ash Wednesday, which also marks the beginning Caritas Australia’s annual Project Compassion Appeal.
The theme of Project Compassion 2025 is ‘Unite Against Poverty’, because together we can take action to make a lasting difference!
By donating to Project Compassion, Caritas Australia, the Catholic Agency for International Aid and Development, can work with local communities around the world to end poverty, promote justice and uphold dignity.

Pick up a Project Compassion box or a set of envelopes or donate online via our specific Holy Family Catholic Parish Caritas website at:

(Our Parish recommends electronic donating as it gets funds to where they are needed far quicker, significantly reduces extra cash handling work for our volunteers and finding and driving to a bank that will receive cash!)

Second Sunday of Lent - 16 March 2025

This week through Project Compassion, we learn about Toefuata'iga from Samoa.

Toefuata'iga, a 13-year-old student in Samoa, faced severe challenges and disruptions to her learning due to water scarcity. After Caritas Australia’s partner Caritas Samoa installed a 10,000 litre water tank at her school, Toefuata'iga and her classmates saw improved health and more consistent class attendance.

“I would like to become a good teacher. To teach the children so they will have a brighter future,” Toefuata'iga said.
