In a world that often feels uncertain and divided, your generosity continues to shine as a beacon of hope—illuminating the lives of the most vulnerable among us.

As Pope Leo XVI so wisely reminded us: “Helping the poor is a matter of justice before a question of charity.” This is a sentiment we see lived out through the actions of our generous donors and supporters. 

Thanks to all of our supporters throughout the last year, the Common Good Foundation was able to put love into motion—bringing Catholic Care to life in tangible, transformative ways. Through our grants programme and the incredible response to the Caring Sunday Appeal, we were able to distribute over $150,000 in funding to organisations serving those most in need. These aren’t just numbers—they represent renewed dignity, access to essentials, and the healing power of compassion. As Pope Leo XVI also said: “Despite my weakness, the Lord is not ashamed of my humanity. Instead, he comes to dwell within me… and makes me an instrument of his love for others.” That’s exactly what generosity achieves: a community where love is not just spoken of—but lived.

As we look to the year ahead, we invite you to continue walking alongside us. Your prayers, your belief in the common good, and your continued support are the foundation of everything we do.
