Twenty- sixth Week of Ordinary Time
Dear parishioners,
CAFOD FAMILY FAST DAY HARVEST APPEAL
Harvest Fast day: Friday 6th October
Dr Nasha’s mobile medical clinic gets life-saving help to where it is needed most, fast – so when her team arrived in Meera’s village in Pakistan after it had been destroyed by flooding, Meera rushed to the clinic to get her children the treatment they needed. Donate to CAFOD today so that more families can get the expert help they need.
To make your donation, you can:
- pick up an envelope in church
- click CAFOD HARVEST APPEAL on the contactless payment device in the church
- give online at cafod.org.uk.
