On Holy Thursday March 29th in the parish “Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary“ in Zemun, for the second year in a row was organised the Caritas Humanitarian Easter fair, in the frame of the project “Building Caritas – reducing poverty“. The exhibitors were Caritas volunteers and parishioners, but this year were also presented the handicrafts of women refugees from the Reception center Principovac, where Caritas is organising jewellery, decoupage and tailoring workshop, with the support of the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Caritas network.

Parish Caritas Zemun organizes the Lent action every year, starting from the Ash Wednesday, when Caritas donation boxes are distributed, with a suggestion to save money for the people in need in them. The boxes were brought back by the parishioners on Holy Thursday and to them was added the money collected during Palm Sunday. All the funds collected through this action were distributed to the people in need, so they could celebrate Easter.
