Family Fast Day
Friday 23rd February is Family Fast Day is a day when we are invited to fast and donate the money we save to CAFOD.
At 10:30am Mass some children from the St Francis of Assisi group in our primary school gave out CAFOD Family Fast envelopes which need to be returned on Sunday 25th February. Alternatively, they will also hold a basket for those who would like to make their donation or if you want to make a direct contribution to Family Fast 2024. Thank you for your support to this very worthwhile appeal.
To learn more about CAFOD's campaign this year which is about James a fisherman and his family. The video below shares his story, and the CAFOD website it says:
Thousands of women and men around the world face the same question: without a way of getting enough food throughout the year, how do you make sure your family can eat today and tomorrow? This was the question that James, a fisherman in Liberia, found himself asking. And he wasn’t alone.
