Give generously to Project Compassion
Spanning across the six weeks of Lent, Project Compassion brings thousands of schools, parishes and supporters together to raise funds for the most marginalised communities around the world.
This year's theme of Project Compassion is ‘For All Future Generations’, and reminds us that the good we do today will extend and impact the lives of generations to come. It is also a call for all of us to play our part in making the world a better place by working together as sisters and brothers in finding long-term solutions to global issues.

City-Country Partnerships grant applications now open
Applications are now open for the City-Country Partnerships Program aimed at improving school education for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students.
Part of the Commonwealth’s first implementation plan under the National Agreement on Closing the Gap, the program supports the establishment of formal partnerships between high-performing metropolitan schools and remote schools with a high proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students to boost outcomes for these students, particularly in reading, mathematics, attendance and school completion.
