Charitable Donations

‘I tell you the truth,  when you did it to one of the least of these, my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me.” Matthew 25: 40

It is important that as a Catholic community, we are generous and support Charities. In these difficult financial times, there are many individuals, families and groups that are struggling to live. A small amount from each of us becomes a large amount from the school as a whole.

It is our duty as Catholic Christians to show love for the most vulnerable in our communities and across the world.
