Project Compassion 2012
Project Compassion is an extraordinary, ongoing demonstration of the faith, love and generosity of the Catholic congregation and caring supporters throughout Australia. There are way too many people to thank individually, so we've included a snapshot of Caritas Supporters from around the country. Although the Lenten season is over, you can donate to Project Compassion until 30 June 2012.
Supporter in the spotlight:
Congratulations and a big thank you to Catholic College Bendigo in Victoria for raising $27,933.60 for Project Compassion. These funds offer hope to the poorest of the poor.

You are an inspiration to everyone and the things you have gone through are unimaginable. You have done so much and it is amazing how strong you are. Me and my school have been raising money for Timor Leste and we wish you great happiness, love and luck in the future.
