In honour of Shrove Tuesday, also known as Pancake Day and the first day of Lent in the Christian calendar, Ayr’s Alfies Bakery sold large pancakes with a scoop of ice cream and maple syrup last Tuesday, February 13, donating a portion of the sales to the local Catholic Women’s League (CWL).
Members and friends of the Burdekin Catholic Parish gathered at the bakery to devour their delicious pancakes on Shrove Tuesday while others called in to the shop and purchased pancakes to take home or to their businesses for morning tea.
After a successful day of pancakes, Alfies Bakery donated $150 to the Ayr branch of the CWL.
The CWL took to social media to thank the bakery and to share that the money will be donated to Caritas Australia as part of Project Compassion during the season of Lent in 2024.
“CWL sincerely thanks Alfies Bakery for their support,” the post read.
“A huge thank you to all who purchased pancakes on the day!
“We will do it all again in 2025.”
As the Catholic Church's international aid and development agency, Caritas Australia works hand in hand with the most marginalised communities in Australia and overseas to confront the challenges of poverty.
Spanning across the six weeks of Lent each year, Project Compassion brings thousands of Australian schools, parishes and supporters together to raise funds for people living in some of the most vulnerable communities across the world.
