THANK YOUDEAR PARISH PRIEST AND PARISHIONERSI’D LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR TAKING UP THE CHALLENGE TO PUT JUSTICE ONTHE MENU BY HOLDING A FISH FRIDAY FUNDRAISING EVENT.Fish Friday is part of Caritas Australia’s Project Compassion campaign, the largesthumanitarian fundraiser in Australia. Donations support Caritas Australia’s longterm development projects in over 30 countries, enable the agency to respond tohumanitarian emergencies and engage Australians in the quest to tackle povertyand injustice.While Catholics traditionally forgo meat on Fridays in Lent, Caritas Australia takes itone step further by inviting people to stand in solidarity with millions of others in thedeveloping world who survive on a staple diet of fish and rice.Fish Friday is a fundraising event where fish is sold or offered for donations on Fridaysduring Lent. It is fast becoming a flagship event for Caritas Australia, with events heldin Catholic parishes, Catholic schools, public spaces, and workplaces across Australia.It’s not often that we go without the basics in Australia. But by holding a Fish Fridayevent – and serving a simple meal so others can simply live - you can help raisemoney for communities in need. In partnership with Caritas Australia, you are helpingalleviate poverty and bring hope and justice to disadvantaged communities aroundthe world.Thank you for being a part of this.Yours sincerely,ely,Jack de GrootChief Executive Officer, Caritas Australia3
