As we enter the last couple of weeks for Project Compassion the Catherine McAuley Houses have ramped up their fundraising efforts.
Project Compassion is a fundraising campaign organised by Caritas Australia which spans across the six weeks of Lent each year. The campaign brings thousands of Australian schools, parishes and supporters together to raise funds for people living in some of the most vulnerable communities across the world.
So far the Catherine McAuley Westmead community has raised $6,685 but with another week still to go this figure is sure to increase.
Fundraising efforts include:
- Combined House bake sale stall
- Year 12 Caritas pancake stall
- Mercy charms stall organised by 7 Clare
- Year 11 Ryan cake stall
- Combined Year 9 Coolock and Ryan strawberries dipped in chocolate stall (Popular!)
- Easter egg guessing competition organised by Year 12 Dobson
- Year 7 Veritas super dooper stall.
The Dobson, Coolock, Mercedes and Clare Bake Sale Stall
And this is just some of the many fundraising activities which have been organised!
Thank you to all who have supported these fundraising efforts for Project Compassion!
