The full time whistle has been blown on Socktober in 2020, and together we kicked some super goals. Across Australia, 378 schools joined us for the journey this year, with 1,991 Socktober Stars raising a wonderful $101,147 for children in need in Cambodia and right around the world.

As our journey together progressed through a difficult year for everyone, students in almost every diocese learnt about mission work in India, Ethiopia, Thailand, and Cambodia and what they can do to support it and be missionary from here at home. We made our own sockballs, created prayer circles, interviewed the hardworking women in our lives, learnt about Fairtrade, and connected with our brothers and sisters overseas, like Dara in Battambang.

Congratulations to all our Socktober Stars, and thank you for your generous and loving support.

We've heard about Dara's story, and he has heard about you! He would like to thank you for all your support through Socktober in 2020.

Sros, a young resident at the Arrupe Centre in Battambang, Cambodia, shares a message of thanks for Socktober supporters.

Catholic Mission's resident soccer guru and Programs Officer Conor Nolan takes you through all the skills you can develop today to be a Socktober Superstar. Work with your teammates to improve your passing, maximise the number of knee-ups you can do (and log your process) and nail the perfect penalty goal.
