Unite Against Poverty with Caritas Australia's Project Compassion in 2026

Last week we launched our annual Project Compassion Campaign. Project Compassion is Caritas Australia’s annual Lenten fundraising appeal - one of the largest in the country.

For over 60 years, it has brought together schools, parishes, communities and individuals to reflect, pray and take action, helping to create a more just world for all.

This Lent, Notre Dame College are joining thousands across the country as we stand together in hope and take action for a more just world. The support of our school community through Project Compassion helps transform lives - bringing clean water, education, healthcare and opportunities to communities facing poverty and injustice.

Please support this campaign by encouraging your children to donate to project Compassion. This can be done through monetary donations to the Project Compassion money boxes which are now in all Pastoral Groups.

I also encourage you to check out the website to read some of the stories of those people who have been supported by Project Compassion - https://www.caritas.org.au/pro...

How will you Unite Against Poverty in 2026?

Have a great week ahead,

Brendan Lindsay, Deputy Principal - Catholic Identity
