The Marist Lenten Journey

As we enter Holy Week, we continue to reflect on the lives of people vulnerable to poverty and injustice and how we can respond by supporting Caritas’ Project Compassion appeal. 

Your generosity allows Caritas to improve the lives of individuals and communities, supporting them to flourish and creating opportunities ‘for all future generations;’ to thrive. Donations to Project Compassion can still be made via Flexischools by the end of the week. 

The College began our Project Compassion almsgiving initiative by selling pancakes on Shrove Tuesday, the day before Ash Wednesday. The donations were outstanding. In Week 8 the Marists in Action (MIA) group organised a Prayer Wall in Bon Repos where they encouraged the College to write a short prayer intention for individuals that we are supporting through Project Compassion. After being inspired by Anatercia’s story, the MIA group initiated a Kahoot! that aimed to educate the College about how millions of people across the world do not have access to water. Congratulations to Tutor Group Marcellin 6 who raised the most funds in the College and won a pizza lunch on Thursday of Week 10!

Thank you for your generosity and prayers during this Lenten journey.
