CAFOD Lent Appeal: help families put food on the table.

This Lent, as we deepen and enliven our faith, we can reflect on Jesus’ call to “love your neighbour as yourself” (Mark 12:31) and pray that we can give more help to families facing hunger today due to floods and droughts.

Christine Allen, Director of CAFOD says: “Last year I travelled to South Sudan. I would like to tell you about one person our local experts have been working with there, a young mother named Rejoice.” With support from local experts, Rejoice and her community created floating gardens, simple beds that rise above floodwaters so they can grow food even when the land is underwater.

By fasting and giving this Lent, you’ll be a good neighbour helping families find ways to grow enough food to eat. Donate online at cafod.org.uk or call 0303 303 3030. For information on supporting CAFOD in your parish, please contact Kathryn Keenan: shrewsbury@cafod.org.uk
