The Holy Trinity Parish CAFOD group was formed about 30 years ago. We are a small group but have enjoyed good support from parishioners throughout those years. Our meetings begin and end with prayer.
We hold three fundraising events a year ( a Quiz, a Harvest supper and a Concert) which are all popular social events. Proceeds are directed to a current CAFOD campaign.
We advertise the two annual Fast Days ( Lent and Harvest) and, as far as we are able, support the various campaigns that CAFOD leads. These are based on Catholic Social Teaching .
CAFOD- Catholic Agency for Overseas Development- works through trusted partners on the ground in developing countries ( most often through Church networks) . Although active in emergency and disaster situations through DECC, its work is mainly focussed on promoting long-term development and resilience in impoverished nations rather than emergency relief.
