On World Mission Sunday, the Holy Father invites us to support Missio - his charity for world mission. This day of of prayer and solidarity and giving unites Catholics worldwide to share the Good News of God’s love which has power to transform lives and heal our world. To donate use the MISSIO envelope (available at the back of church), call 01078219755 or visit missio.org.uk.
This special collection will be taken in church on 26th October 2025.
Please donate to our Family Fast Day parish collection on 5th October to share God’s abundant gifts with our global neighbours as they find lasting solutions to poverty and climate challenges. Your generosity offers “signs of hope” in this Jubilee Year, helping build more water tanks in communities like Waré’s in Ethiopia where women have to walk for hours to get water. Use the CAFOD envelope in church, donate online at cafod.org.uk/envelope or call 0303 303 3030. You can also text CAFOD to 70560 to donate £10.
