Parish Launch of Project Compassion 2025

             Project Compassion 2025, with the theme 'United Against Poverty', was successfully launched this weekend in The Holy Family Catholic Parish of the Southern Hills. Each of our five Caritas Ambassadors took part in the Liturgy, carrying forward the Project Compassion 2025 candle to Light our way during Lent. 
They introduced the Project Compassion Campaign to Unite Against Poverty, with a talk at each of the Masses in our three Parish Centres. Well Done Everyone!  

Many thanks to Monica  and her brothers Anton and Gregor, who ably assisted at the special pancake morning tea at Our Lady of The Way. They raised a massive $133-10 with special thanks to our generous parishioners.

We look forward to the Nativity School Launch on Shrove Tuesday, with pancakes, to be hosted by Bianca and her wonderful Team a
nd to the special School Mass 11:30am at Nativity on Ash Wednesday.
