Lenten Appeal
The
three main focuses of Lent are Prayer,
Fasting and Almsgiving. Every year St
Joseph’s participates in a whole school almsgiving
activity, where money is raised and sent to the Catholic Aid organisation, Caritas.
The Caritas theme for Lent 2012 was “Called by faith to act with generous hearts.”
This year our Lenten effort was The Tables-a-thon.
It reflects the generosity of our school community that an amazing total of $3152.40
was raised this year. A cheque for this amount has been sent to Caritas. We appreciate your support in this Lenten
project and it is great to see that our virtue of Generosity is alive in our
school community. Generous donations
to the National Lent Appeal, have exceeded $600,000 so
far.
