Sr Catherine was our constant contact at the Brigidine Asylum Seekers’ Project and liaised with so many parishioners over many years as they delivered countless donation baskets. She worked tirelessly in welcoming refugees and asylum seekers over many years. She will be greatly missed. THE PARISH OF ALL HALLOWS AND OUR LADY OF GOOD COUNSEL Each parishioner witnesses Christ in their own way, every day. We acknowledge that we stand on land for which the Wurundjeiri people are the traditional custodians, we remember their forbears with respect and commit ourselves to working for reconciliation and justice.

Caritas Australia Project Compassion Caritas Australia’s annual Project Compassion campaign continues during Lent and this year’s theme is Food for Life. Each week, Caritas Australia features stories from different countries explaining the issues facing local communities. Project Compassion boxes are still available in the churches. Fifth Sunday of Lent: Peru In a remote Andean village, Caritas is helping farmers like Cristian to grow and harvest a wide variety of high-value, sustainable fruit crops, which will provide a secure income and a wide variety of food for life. Cristian’s community lives a traditional life, and until recently the closest water source to the village was over a kilometre away, so they had no running water and no irrigation for their farms. Visit www.caritas.org.au/projectcompassion for Cristian’s story and learn more about the work of Caritas Australia.
