OUTREACH
Hallows
It was with great sadness that we heard ofAllthe
death
of Sr Catherine Kelly CSB. 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.
