Caritas Australia is the Catholic Church’s international aid and development agency, working to end poverty, promote justice, and uphold human dignity. As part of the global Caritas network, it supports communities in Australia and across the world through emergency relief, long-term development programs, and advocacy for systemic change.
Partnership with the Diocese of Parramatta
The Diocese of Parramatta partners closely with Caritas Australia through initiatives like Project Compassion, which raised nearly $580,000 in 2024 thanks to the generosity of local parishes, schools, and agencies. Events such as the Big Water Walk and Lenten campaigns unite our community in practical solidarity, helping provide clean water, education, and healthcare to vulnerable communities globally.
