Acts of love, compassion and kindness

Catholic Education Office  (CEO) staff took to the streets this week to share some love, compassion and kindness.

On Wednesday, in celebration of the Feast of Saint Mary of the Cross MacKillop, staff put faith into action. Teams from across the CEO undertook a variety of activities to support our community including:

  • Offering a pampering session at Vinnies Women’s Crisis Centre – women were treated to a manicure and morning tea (while some CEO staff cared for their children)
  • Partnering with Keep Australia Beautiful – ICT staff collected rubbish along the Linear Park
  • Helping out in the kitchen and assisting with food delivery on behalf of Meals on Wheels
  • Supporting the Moore Street Soup Run
  • Giving blood donations at the Australian Red Cross Blood Service
  • Supporting the work of the Cancer Council
  • Preparing gift packs for clients of Catherine House
  • Collating resources for Legacy
  • Supporting the work of Backpacks for Kids – a charity that provides backpacks full of essentials for vulnerable children
  • Gardening at Our Lady Queen of Peace School

A number of fundraisers were also organised included a sausage sizzle for Catherine House.

Staff were blessed by the opportunity to serve others in such practical and meaningful ways.
