Thank you from CAFOD

Jo Lewry would like to thank you for your support for CAFOD this year…

Thank you so much for your prayers, donations, campaign actions, fundraising and for taking part in our BIG Lent walk. Thank you for supporting our Lent and Harvest family fast days.

2023 has been a difficult year for so many people with rising food and energy prices, continuing war in Ukraine, floods in Libya, earthquakes in Turkey, Syria and Morocco, continuing drought in East Africa, conflict in Sudan and the Israeli – Palestinian Crisis.

Your love and concern for your brothers and sisters suffering due to climate change and conflict has been amazing so THANK YOU so much for supporting our emergency appeals.

This year over 70,000 parishioners in England and Wales signed Salina’s letter to the World Bank asking for the rights of small farmers to share and save their own seeds to be upheld. Also, parishioners in England and Wales have shared the Pope’s exhortation Laudate Deum, in which Pope Francis urges world leaders to commit to “the abandonment of fossil fuels” and urgently switch to clean energy sources to over 600 MPs.

Many thanks for your support for our campaigns this year. I would like to wish you and your families a blessed Christmas and a joy filled New Year and hope that you will continue to support CAFOD’s work in 2024.
