Journeying Through Lent:

Prayer, Almsgiving, and Fasting

As we enter the season of Lent, our school community is invited to reflect on the three pillars of this sacred time: Prayer, Almsgiving, and Fasting.

To support Caritas Australia’s Project Compassion, our Social Justice Team has created a Lenten Calendar filled with opportunities for reflection and action. This year’s theme, "Unite Against Poverty", calls us to stand in solidarity with vulnerable communities around the world.

Throughout Lent, we will take time to learn about those in need and support them through meaningful action. The Social Justice Team has organized four fundraising activities, with all proceeds going to support communities in Samoa, Vietnam, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

In addition to fundraising, we will deepen our spiritual journey through prayer and scripture, reflecting on the question Jesus asked His disciples: "Who do you say I am?". This question invites us to explore our faith and consider how we can respond with love, compassion, and generosity.

May this Lenten season be a time of growth, reflection, and meaningful action for our school community.
