Railaco Timor-Leste

OUR LADY OF FATIMA, RAILACO TIMOR-LESTE

For nearly 20 years, we have supported our sister parish in Railaco Timor-Leste through a feeding program providing nutritional meals to children, a mobile medical clinic, and an education program through the Jesuit-run NOSSEF Secondary School.

Through our relationship with our sister parish, our community has joined the people of Timor-Leste, one of our closest neighbours, on their long road to building better lives following independence.

We have been making what is seen by the people in Railaco as a monumental commitment to the welfare, healthcare, nutrition and educational needs of their children since 2004.

Our parish supports the daily on-the-ground requirements of Railaco Jesuit Mission: ensuring that children receive a nutritious meal, families are able to see a doctor, and students receive the best secondary education.

The annual funding for these programs is approximately A$70,000 and thanks to the generosity of our parish community, we have been able to raise over A$1,000,000 to ensure these critical works continue.
