CAFOD Update meetings across the Diocese

Jo Lewry invites you to one of the CAFOD meetings in the diocese.

There are three meetings, one at Corpus Christi Wokingham RG40 2HE on Saturday 27th January, 10:30am until 1:30pm with a simple lunch provided, and two on Saturday 3rd February; one at St Philip Howard Fareham PO14 1ND, 10:30am until 1:30pm with a simple lunch provided, and the other at Holyrood Hall Newport Isle of Wight PO30 1UH from 11:30am to 12:30pm.  Please book your place so that we have an idea of the numbers by emailing Jo on jlewry@cafod.org.uk

At these meetings we will share how your generous donations make a difference to the communities that we work with. For example, in New Kru Town, Liberia we are supporting a project that provides training to fishermen like James (in photo) which includes using a GPS fish finder, safety at sea and how to preserve fish. James told us “Coming home with nothing you feel bad – you have nothing to feed yourself, you have nothing to feed the jazz boys who help you bring your boat in, you have nothing for your crew, for your family. It is part of life. I am used to this. It feels really bad, but I am used to this. It’s important to help each other out because if I help you today, you will help me tomorrow. If God blesses you today, he will bless someone else tomorrow.”

I hope to see you at one of our CAFOD meetings.
