Mercy in May for McAuley Services - Thank You!

QUICKLINKS

Thank you to everyone in our Sacred Heart College community who supported our Mercy in May goods drive for McAuley Community Services for Women.

Thanks to your incredible generosity, we were able to donate over $500 and almost 10 washing baskets full of essential items to support women and children who are rebuilding their lives after experiencing family violence.

The donations were delivered to McAuley Services just in time for the long weekend and will go directly to families in need.

The month of May is traditionally a time when the Church honours Mary, the mother of Jesus, recognising her as a person of courage, strength, and faith . We also mark Mother’s Day during May, which makes it an especially meaningful time to support women who are doing it tough. Like Mary seeking support from her cousin Elizabeth, McAuley offers women and children a place of safety, welcome, and compassion.

Through this campaign, our school community has lived out the heart of our Mercy values and reflected the principles of Catholic Social Teaching, especially the dignity of the human person and the preferential option for the poor and marginalised.

A special thank you to our Faith and Mercy Justice student leadership teams, who helped drive the initiative and encouraged others to get involved.

This campaign was a great example of our community coming together to put Mercy into action.

Thank you again for your support.
