Each year at St Michaels we support several different organisations as part of our Mission Outreach; including Caritas, St Vincent de Paul and Catholic Mission. As a Catholic Community we are inspired by the life of Jesus to reach out to those in this world that are marginalised or less fortunate than we are. Our mission focus for the rest of this year is on the work of Catholic Mission in Timor-Leste. 

This year Catholic Mission are supporting the work of the Salesian Sisters in Timor-Leste with 2 important projects: the Don Bosco Children’s Home and the Maria Auxiliadora Medical Clinic. These are two very important services that the Salesian Sisters have established to support the people in the community.

At St Michaels we are focusing our fundraising efforts on the Children's home. The staff at the Don Bosco Children’s Home under the guidance of the Salesian Sisters not only provide a home for many children but give them access to education. Every $20 that we raise at St Michaels will provide the students with books and equipment to aid their learning.

We began our fundraising campaign last term, raising $600 on our casual clothes day. The first of this term's efforts will start this week with a Colouring Competition and a ‘Guess the lollies in the jar’. The students from the Mission Team will come around to the classrooms over the next few days to speak with the children. Entry in both of these competitions will be 50c
