St Mary’s shows solidarity

The idea is to spread awareness about displacement and the need for clean water that sees people in poverty, particularly across Africa, Asia and the Pacific, walk long distances each day.

Year 3 and 4 students walked in solidarity with these people on Thursday, March 27, covering a distance of at least 6km with these items in hand.

All clothes, toys and blankets brought in for the cause were then donated to St Vincent de Paul.

The students were supported by Caritas Diocesan co-ordinator Kerry Stone, St Mary’s Parish priest Fr Novie Lim, and parent volunteer Kate.

Project Compassion runs during Lent each year, encouraging donations and support for people living in poverty.
