CAFOD

We believe in a world full of hope and joy - one where our sisters and brothers can overcome poverty and injustice for good. Together, we are making real, long-lasting change and you can join us. Our faith inspires us to keep striving, because a better world needs all of us.

There were perhaps two processions into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday. A military parade by Pilate while Jesus humbly arrived on a donkey. For our Palm Sunday reflection, we focus on how Jesus once again shows the true power of non-violence and love. ⤵️ cafod.org.uk/pray/lent-cale…

Mary, Mother of God, pray for us. 🙏 Today, we celebrate the Annunciation of the Lord and it's a reminder to work for a Kingdom of justice.

As we celebrate the Annunciation of the Lord, let's pray with Pope Leo XIV. In today's reflection, we look at how Mary was troubled by the angel's message but still placed her trust in the One who calls. Read more. ⤵️ cafod.org.uk/pray/lent-cale…

The Feast of Saint Oscar Romero is a moment when we remember his incredible life and reflect on his legacy.

In today’s gospel, Jesus speaks of his coming death. 46 years ago, Archbishop Oscar Romero was shot while celebrating Mass and like Jesus, he anticipated his fate. For his feast day, we reflect on St Romero's legacy and commitment to justice. ⤵️ cafod.org.uk/pray/lent-cale…
