In 2015, Pope Francis said that “every person ought to have the awareness that purchasing is always a moral – and not simply an economic – act.” That is also the message from ACRATH (Australian Catholic Religious Against Trafficking in Humans), to all who are intending to buy chocolate this Easter.
|
Cocoa is a key ingredient of chocolate. Much of the chocolate sold in Australia is made using cocoa beans picked by children, many of whom have been enslaved, or forced to work in exploitative conditions. Most of these children have never even tasted chocolate.
|
|
Wherever possible, buy and eat slavery-free chocolate this Easter. To buy slavery-free Easter chocolate look for any of these certification labels on the wrappers: FAIRTRADE, Rainforest Alliance and UTZ.

Next Thursday morning (7 April), we will gather together in the College gymnasium and our Year 12 College Leaders will lead us in our traditional Easter liturgy of the Stations of the Cross.
|
This important prayer pilgrimage is a powerful way to grow closer to Jesus during the Lenten season. It is an important College event as it prepares us for Easter through prayer and reflection.
