Parish Resources Week 1
This week, we celebrate Shrove Tuesday and Ash Wednesday – the beginning of our journey through Lent and through Caritas Australia’s Project Compassion.
Here are our other top tips to help you begin this Lenten season with faith and purpose this weekend...

Reminder – Donation Collections
Please remember to hand out your Project Compassion donation envelopes each week during Mass. Every envelope represents an opportunity to transform lives through faith and generosity.
As a reminder, we have once again consolidated the six weekly Project Compassion envelopes into one single donation envelope. We still warmly encourage the Lenten tradition of weekly giving by taking multiple envelopes from the church.
Remember to also share your fundraising page with your community to encourage online donations. Log into your dashboard to share your page link and unique QR code, or click here to activate your page if you haven’t already done so.
If you need any support with your fundraising or any extra resources, please contact the friendly Project Compassion team on projectcompassion@caritas.org.au or call (02) 7254 5120.
