REFUGEE CRISIS CARITAS:
On Sunday 6th September, Pope Francis appealed to Catholic communities to reach out to those affected by the refugee crisis, saying ‘May every parish, every religious community, every monastery, every sanctuary of Europe, take in one family’.
Our parish can join in by offering support. When refugees arrive in the UK, they will not only need accommodation, but a range of other services to help them to adjust to life in the UK, and to recover from the traumas of the Syrian war. The Catholic community in the Diocese of Westminster has the generosity, skills and dedication to help contribute to the services that will be needed. These services will include, but are not limited to:
- Help with languages, including interpreting and ESOL (English as a Second Language teaching)
- Legal advice,
- Medical services
- Befriending,
- Basic necessities, such as clothing, shoes, toiletries, food parcels, toys etc. There is a list in the Church Porch for you to sign if you are able to help in any way.
HOSPITAL CARDS:
Please take a card from the back of the church if you, or someone you know, is going into hospital so that you can notify the chaplain that you are there if you so wish.
