Thanks to parishioners at St Anthony's Bognor Regis for raising £302 for a soup, bread & cheese @cafod lunch. Thanks too to the local greengrocer who kindly provided a box of fruit as a prize for the winners of the Quiz & to the @CAFOD group organisers.🥖🍜🥣👋

Our prayers today for our new Bishop Stephen Wang👋 at your Mass of Episcopal Ordination becoming Bishop of @ABDiocese. We welcome you, we pray for you, as you take on this enormous responsibility, & may Our Lady watch over you as you become our Shepherd today. @cafod @CDenchN21
Join us in holding Pope Leo XIV in prayer today as he recovers from surgery to remove a nodule on his lung. We pray for him, his medical team and all caring for him. May the Holy Father be sustained by the prayers of the Church and swiftly restored to good health 🙏

Dear friends, during some recent medical examinations, the doctors found a small, localized nodule in my lung. It was detected at a very early stage and is well-localized. The doctors believe that it is best to intervene, so, following their advice, I have decided to undergo surgery to remove it. The operation is already scheduled to take place in the coming days. I thank you for your spiritual closeness and entrust myself to your prayers.
A wonderful day supporting #Adoremus at St George’s Cathedral and Westminster Cathedral. My wonderful colleagues by the @CAFOD Stand this morning greeting the pilgrims from across the UK.

Harvest is a time to give thanks to God for the gifts of creation and for the food that sustains us.
While we celebrate the food we have, we remember our sisters and brothers around the world who do not have enough.

Tayla's education was interrupted by a lack of water. Our local partners in Zimbabwe worked with the community to build a solar-powered pump. Now, the impact goes beyond a reliable, safe water source. Find out more and donate this Harvest. ⤵️ cafod.org.uk/give/appeals/fa…

Pope Leo's Prayer Intention for September focuses on the crucial issue of clean water as he asks us to defend everyone's right to water.
This Harvest, we're sharing the story of how our partners built a solar-powered pump in Zimbabwe.

In Zimbabwe, hunger and thirst are stopping children from learning.
Tayla experienced that before our local partners built a solar-powered water system.
