Parish Resources Week 4
We are now over halfway through the Lenten season, and halfway through Caritas Australia’s Project Compassion. This week, we hear the story of Manaini, who is learning food processing and gardening skills to create new income opportunities for her family.
Take a look at these top tips to help share Manaini’s story with your parishioners this week…
