CAFOD in Lancaster

CAFOD and the St Vincent de Paul Society (England & Wales) are working together to offer free residential work experience for 20 young adults (ten per organisation) over 18 years old.

On Monday the 16th of March, our Volunteers visited The Cathedral Catholic Primary. These 4 bright boys were inspired to tidy gardens on a weekend and raised £25 by themselves. 💚 What a fantastic job they’re doing Building a Better World. #BigThanks #CAFODInLancaster

In Populorum Progressio, published 59 years ago today, Pope Paul VI wrote of the “duty imposed by human solidarity and Christian charity” to welcome those from other countries. Reflecting on Abraham's journey, we pray for a world where all are welcome 🙏 cafod.org.uk/pray/lent-cale…

After more than 1,000 days of international inaction, the crisis in Sudan has reached catastrophic levels - a staggering 33.7 million people are relying on humanitarian assistance. With @CAFOD I'm urging the UK Government to take decisive action now.

Earlier, @FCDOGovUK shared more information about aid cuts. @MikeKaneMP asked the Foreign Secretary an important question about the Government's plans to tackle the global debt crisis while referencing our campaign for a Debt Justice Law.

On today's feast of St Joseph, our gospel reflection celebrates this much-loved saint who shows us how to listen deeply and love generously. Read more: cafod.org.uk/pray/lent-cale… #StJoseph #PrayForUs

During our visit to Holy Family Catholic Primary School Warton, we had a chat about building a better world together, speaking up on needs in some communities such as food, peace, safe homes and clean water. Thank you to staff & ever smiling learners for a warm welcome.💚

Today marks four years since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. In our #Lent reflection we think about the power of words to bring healing and hope—through one-on-one counselling and group therapy sessions - amidst conflict and violence. Read more: cafod.org.uk/pray/lent-cale…

A big thank you Bishop Paul, Fr John and all the clergy and parishioners at the Cathedral Parish of St Peter & the Lancaster Martyrs for your warm welcome at Masses this weekend. Your generosity on #FamilyFastDay helps @CAFOD to continue changing and transforming people's lives.

In our gospel for the #FirstSundayofLent we join a newly baptised Jesus in the desert. Amidst temptation, Jesus rests secure in his identity as God’s beloved child, choosing the path of service and love that will define his ministry. Pray with us 🙏👇 cafod.org.uk/pray/lent-cale…
