In the week coinciding with the feast day of St Ignatius of Loyola, Australian Catholics of all ages participated in our One Foot Raised campaign, to raise awareness, prayers and an incredible $54,000 for the people of Myanmar.
A huge thank you to all of our supporters for participating, including Saint Ignatius’ College Riverview (NSW), Xavier College (VIC), Our Lady of the Way Parish North Sydney (NSW), The Cardoner Network (NSW), Saint Ignatius College Geelong (VIC), Sevenhill and Riverton Parishes (SA), and Jesuit and Ignatian Spirituality Australia.
In addition, Jesuit Mission supporters and Year 5 and 6 students from Saint Ignatius’ College Riverview wrote letters of love, hope and support for the people of Myanmar.
We continue to pray for peace and justice for all those affected by conflict.
Upon reading the letters, our project partner shared their thanks with you and our compassionate supporters.
“Thank you so much for all your thoughts, prayers, support and solidarity! All the words and messages are really encouraging, and we feel God’s love through those messages…Please know that you, your team, and your loved ones are in our prayers too. Thank you for all your support in many ways to the people of Myanmar!”
