Project Compassion
This Lent, our school is proud to support Project Compassion 2025, Caritas Australia's annual initiative to help vulnerable communities create brighter futures. Through generosity, prayer, and action, we can make a real difference in the lives of those in need.
Students will learn about inspiring stories of resilience and hope while participating in fundraising activities to support this vital cause. Each class will have a Project Compassion Box in their classroom for students to bring in their donations to help support communities in need. We kindly ask that you help us work together to support this great cause. Every donation, big or small, helps transform lives.
Let’s work together to bring compassion to life this Lent!
Help us help people like Irene.
Gospel
Third Sunday in Lent, Year C Luke 13: 1-9 The parable of the fig tree
The readings for this midway point in Lent speak to us of the all-pervading presence of the divine. God’s name, revealed in the first reading from the book of Exodus, is totally identified with divine being. God’s existence is revealed in all that is. St Mary Mackillop expressed this in her insightful words, ‘wherever you are, God is’. The psalmist describes the nature of such divine being as ‘compassion and love, slow to anger and rich in mercy’. The parable of the barren fig tree reminds us that God is patient in waiting for us to bear fruit from the divine giftedness planted within us. It is a parable which calls us to realise that God’s grace is faithfully nurtured in us by tiling the soil of our lives. We are called to respond to this divine care and generosity by going forth and bearing fruit through our love and generosity to all we encounter.
