Caritas Project Compassion

On Tuesday, 4th March, St Francis of Assisi Catholic Parish Primary School, Warrawong hosted the official launch of Caritas Australia's Project Compassion 2025. This annual Lenten appeal inspires us to stand in solidarity with the world’s most vulnerable communities, working towards a more just and compassionate society.

Representing our school at the launch were Mr Cloran, Ms Neasy, and two Year 10 students, who joined other schools and community members in marking the beginning of this important initiative.

The theme for this year, "Uniting Against Poverty", highlights the importance of collective action in addressing inequality and uplifting those in need. Through powerful stories of resilience and transformation, Project Compassion reminds us that when we come together, we can create lasting change and break the cycle of poverty.

The launch event included a special liturgy, reflections on Caritas' mission, and a call to action for students and families to support Project Compassion through fundraising and awareness activities. To make donating even easier, you can contribute directly by scanning the QR code. Every donation, big or small, helps make a difference in the lives of those who need it most.

As we begin this Lenten journey, let us commit to walking alongside those experiencing hardship, ensuring that together, we make a meaningful difference. Join us as we unite against poverty and build a future filled with hope and opportunity for all.
