CONGRATULATIONS and thanks to Karen

Sunday’s St Kevin’s Reunion.
A lovely afternoon was had by all who
attended.
CONGRATULATIONS (and it’s about time).
Charles Balnaves who will be ordained a
priest on Saturday 27th June. This ceremony
will take place at St Patrick’s Cathedral 10
am.
Charles is being ordained with 2 others on
the day, John Paul Mount and Francis
Denton.
This week Project Compassion focuses on Niger,
where life is very tough. Many live in extreme
poverty, often unable to afford or access food
and water.
In Niger, more than half the children under five
years old have experienced malnutrition. A
Nutrition Centre in Niger (supported by Caritas
Australia) admits over 500 malnourished children
every week.
When Fati (2 and a half) became malnourished,
her mother Mariama took her to the Centre to
receive the food, nutritional supplements and
medical care that she needed to recover.
Mariama too was able to regain her strength and
learn new income producing skills.
Please donate to Project Compassion 2015
and help save the lives of people living on the
brink of survival in Niger, giving them access
to nutritional support and essential food for
life.
You can donate through Parish boxes and
envelopes, by visiting
www.caritas.org.au/projectcompassion or
phoning 1800 024 413.
