This year is the 50th anniversary of Lent Fast Day and CAFOD are asking you to ‘give it up’!
Most of us usually give up something for Lent like biscuits, wine, a big dinner on a Friday. This year why not create some amazing changes for people who live in the developing world by giving the money saved to CAFOD?
The money you save by missing out on your favourite biscuits each day, for example, could go towards a bicycle to help a health volunteer take food to orphaned children.
Attached to this weeks Link is an envelope which you can use for your Fast Day offerings or at any time during Lent. Please return the envelopes either at the retiring collection next week or at any time during Lent.
In the church porches you will also find a supply of take home money boxes for your spare change. These can be returned on Holy Thursday.
