Shrove Tuesday
Shrove Tuesday was last Tuesday on the 13 February. Shrove Tuesday, also known as Pancake Day is a time-honoured tradition celebrated in many cultures around the world as the last day of feasting before the Lenten season begins and Shrove Tuesday as an act of indulgence before the austerity of Lent.
Our College wanted to mark this occasion by selling pancakes to mark the commencement of Project Compassion who seek to raise money for those in need. We supplied mini pancakes with topping options such as whipped cream and strawberry jam. We had a long line, so we knew that this fundraiser would be a success.
Thanks to our College community who came together and supported this event. We are excited to share that we raised almost $200 for Project Compassion through our Shrove Tuesday activity - which is outstanding as this was the first time we have hosted this event as Mission Council. Our pancakes were a sellout, which means we can hope to raise even more money for Project Compassion in 2025!
