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.

Your support and donations this Harvest Fast Day will enable our partners to work with people across the world to empower them to become self-sufficient despite living in the most difficult of conditions. Additionally at this time, your donations will be used to support those affected by the refugee crisis in Europe and the Middle East.  There will be a collection after all Masses next weekend and there are envelopes available at the back of the Church today for you to Gift Aid your donations if you are UK taxpayers – thank you.
