CAFOD Family Fast Day - Weekend of 03/04 October 2020

This week our parish is marking CAFOD’s Family Fast Day to help people facing the worst of the coronavirus crisis.

Harvest Fast Day Appeal

We all watched in trepidation as Covid-19 spread like a wave towards us. None of us knew what to expect and we inevitably became introspective, seeking to protect ourselves, our loved ones and our friends. The daily news only seemed to talk about Covid-19; we bought up toilet paper, pasta and flour.

What we have forgotten is that other people around the world have other worries as well as the fear of the global contagion.

• YEMEN: The war continues where 4 out of 5 people of the 24million population need emergency aid
• ​SYRIA: The civil war continues

These are only two areas of the world that need your help

• Please - These people need your help
• Please - Look beyond your own horizons
• Please - Remember what our Christian faith stands for

It is no exaggeration that Every Penny Counts. Please give what you can. Thank you so very much.​
