Lent has been a little busy this year and for most of us we’ve given up whole lot more than we anticipated.  Someone even wrote “this has been the lentiest lent I’ve lented”!

Typically during Lent we support Project Compassion and the good work that Caritas does across the world.  This might form part of our calling of giving to the poor during this season – Prayer, Fasting and Almsgiving.

Spanning through the six weeks of Lent each year, Project Compassion is an extraordinary, ongoing demonstration of the faith, love and generosity of Caritas Australia's caring supporters, all in the name of justice and peace. Millions of Australians come together in solidarity with the world's poor to help end poverty, promote justice and uphold dignity.
