‘Unite Against Poverty’ with Project Compassion

Published on: 17 March 2025

This Lent, we’re inviting the MacKillop College community to ‘Unite Against Poverty’ with Caritas Australia’s Project Compassion.

Lent is a significant season in our Liturgical year. It is a time of prayer, fasting and almsgiving, a time to be the ‘good news for the poor’ (Luke 4:18).

This year Lent is especially significant as we celebrate the Jubilee Year – a time of renewal and solidarity.

As individuals we can help others, but when we come together as a MacKillop College community through Project Compassion, our good becomes great.

Our combined kindness grows.

And when we unite with each other – and with people living in poverty – we can create BIG, lasting change.

We are issuing a challenge and fostering a friendly competition among our different year levels.

We have established six separate teams, each representing a different year level, with the goal of determining which year level can raise the most funds for Project Compassion.

Each year level has their own individual fundraising page to donate at:

Our main college page is HERE: MacKillop College • Project Compassion 2025

And here are each of the Year Teams:

Every little donation can make a difference! We thank you for your support.

Let’s all Unite Against Poverty! There is no time like 2025!
