Project Compassion Commissioning Mass
28 February
On Sunday 19 February Damascus College students Sophie, Paris, Xavier and Lucas Damascus attended the Commissioning Mass at St Patrick’s Cathedral, to launch Project Compassion.
Spanning across the six weeks of Lent each year, Project Compassion brings thousands of Australian schools, parishes and supporters together to raise funds for people living in some of the most vulnerable communities across the world.
As the Catholic Church's international aid and development agency, Caritas Australia works hand in hand with the most marginalised communities in Australia and overseas, to confront the challenges of poverty. Through locally-led programs, we work with all people, with shared hope and compassion, towards a world where all can thrive and reach their full potential.
Through partnerships with local organisations and Church networks, and as a member of Caritas Internationalis, one of the largest humanitarian networks in the world, we are able to reach where the need is greatest and work together for a just future.
At the Mass on Sunday our students were presented with Project Compassion boxes and candles to promote and support our awareness of the need and our fundraising during lent.
