CAFOD Family Fast Day Soup Lunch:
Friday the 4th of October is CAFOD Family Fast Day, a day when we are asked to live a little more simply and donate what we save to CAFOD. To help us to do this together, there will be a simple soup lunch on Friday 4th October at 1pm in Holy Family Hall to which all are welcome.
Please take a CAFOD envelope and return it by Sunday 6th October if you wish to donate to this cause. If you are a tax payer, please consider gift aiding your donation.
CAFOD Sudan Appeal:
‘The people of Sudan need our urgent help. CAFOD are launching an emergency appeal for donations to get aid to them on the biggest scale we can muster. When violence broke out last year in Sudan between government and paramilitaries, most aid agencies evacuated. Now, humanitarian workers are struggling to get back into Sudan to help, meaning severe delays in getting aid to the people, and the challenges of getting into areas where fighting is still going on remain. Many borders are shut as the government say they need to keep weapons out. But the Church and our local partners are sill there. Donations may still be made this week in an envelope marked ‘Sudan’, or directly through the CAFOD website.
