Ash Wednesday
The students participated beautifully in the Ash Wednesday Mass today. Thank you to the parishioners who also joined us at Mass. It is a wonderful sight to see such a full church again. We thank all of the students and staff who played important roles in the mass today.
Project Compassion boxes are being sent home with the youngest student in each family this week. The Canberra Goulburn Archdiocese schools all support this worthy cause and we ask that our families all support this worthy cause as best we can. Donations can be collected in the boxes during the season of Lent and returned to the school office at the start of Easter for us to send our school donation on. The money is collected to help vulnerable communities forge a path out of poverty. There are many amazing initiatives which your donation will support, among them are education programs, supporting initiatives of community health workers, vocational training opportunities, and providing life-changing water tanks for families.
