St Mary’s Primary School in Young have raised $1,400 during their annual Mission Day Mini Fete to support the overseas work of the school’s founding order, the Presentation Sisters, who continue to help the poor and marginalised.

Sister Jeanette shared stories and photos from her travels throughout the Philippines and following the liturgies, St Mary’s students participated in a Mini Fete to raise money through stalls and activities.

Acting Principal Mark Birks said that the event highlighted the generosity and giving spirit of the students, staff and families of St Mary's, Young.

“The staff were very proud of the efforts of all the students to understand the need for charity and giving to those less fortunate than themselves,” he said.
