The Indian Bazaar
The annual Indian Bazaar is co-ordinated by an Executive Committee of
NSW Jesuit Mission Friends. The main policy for the running of the Bazaar is that every stall and attraction donates 100% of its profit for the work of Jesuit Mission (except for the few stalls and attractions that are hired out for the day). The Bazaar alone consistently contributes well over $100,000 each year for vital work in the developing world.
Among others directly involved in the running of the Indian Bazaar are members of a number of school communities including St Aloysius College, St Ignatius' College and the Loyola Campus of Christ Catholic College at Mt Druitt. Also involved are members of many parish communities including St Mary's North Sydney, St Francis Xavier's Lavender Bay, Our Lady Star of the Sea Kirribilli, St Canice's Elizabeth Bay and St Philip Neri Northbridge. Alumni and past parents associated with Jesuit schools in Australia and beyond work generously for the success of these functions. St Ignatius' College generously hosts the event on their school grounds in Riverview.
