David Mcgovern, the Diocesan Director for Catholic Mission explained that the "support of schools for the children of Timor Leste, through Socktober, is invaluable and Catholic Mission, and Sr Carolina, a Salesian nun who cares for them are grateful and humble for the passion and enthusiasm of our Diocesan students.”

“Kicking goals for good - as part of Socktober - is an essential part of both the RE curriculum and Catholic Social Teaching and Catholic Mission is proud so many schools, and their students, have registered for Socktober and Mission Month.”

“The theme of this year's Mission Month and Socktober campaign is ‘Hearts on Fire, Feet on the Move’. This is evident in the actions of students in our local Catholic schools who have registered for Socktober and are looking to ‘kick goals for good’.
