This weekend there will be the opportunity to join the CAFOD petition about the global debt crisis, which is causing terrible suffering for around the world.

Cardinal Stephen Ameyu Martin Mulla from South Sudan has written to parishes in England and Wales explaining –

“Nearly 10 million South Sudanese need humanitarian assistance. Flooding has displaced a million people this year. Food insecurity is widespread and malnutrition is rising. Alongside all of this is the burden of external debt. Years of instability forced our nation to borrow in order to function. Today, so much of our national resources are diverted to servicing that debt, instead of paying for growing food, healthcare, education and building peace.”

Please consider stopping for a minute as you leave and lend your support. Thank you.
