Mission Action Day

Each year the College community mounts a significant effort to raise funds to assist members of the wider Lasallian community around the world, especially in the nearby poorer countries. The College community gathered for our annual walk at Smith Reserve on a day that was made in heaven. It was almost perfect — God blessed us with the best! But our day does not happen by accident. The MAD Committee put many hours during Term 1 into organizing this event and ensuring that it would run perfectly. And it did. Our thanks go to all those on the Committee with their leader, Mr Ian Oliver, whose commitment and dedication to this effort is noteworthy. We all acknowledge the size of the logistics for the day and excellent way in which everything is conducted. Our sincere thanks. In 2011 we dispersed $43,000 to mission projects in three countries: Sudan, India and Papua New Guinea. MAD is a College community project in which we live out the Gospel message by helping those who urgently need our support. This is our service to the wider church.
