CAFOD thanks you for your continued support and prayers, and asks that you remember our brothers and sisters around the world who have and are being affected by extreme weather. Storms, droughts and floods are having a devastating impact on them right now, an example of which of course occurred during the Pope’s recent visit to the Philippines.

With your support, CAFOD works with local expert organisations to ensure that affected people are able to survive, rebuild and thrive. Please give what you can this Lent Fast Day. Envelopes for your donations are available at the back of the Church, and you can return them next weekend. And encouragingly the UK Government has promised to match every pound and penny you give this Lent up to the value of £3.5m. Thank you.
