Text CAFOD to 70085 to donate £10. (Texts cost £10 plus one standard rate message and you’ll be opting in to hear more about our work and fundraising via telephone and SMS. If you’d like to give £10 but do not wish to receive marketing communications, text CAFODNOINFO to 70085).

MISSIO Appeal Sunday 18 October is World Mission Sunday with a retiring collection. Through prayer and witness, Pope Francis has been walking alongside the whole global community. He has also made a special Appeal for financial support for the Church around the world which is struggling to cope with the effects of COVID-19. He has asked Missio to administer this Appeal. I am writing to ask for their prayerful and financial support. I know that it is a difficult time for everyone, and I do not want to burden people. However, I am sure that many people will want to help where they can. Thank you for your continued support, especially in these difficult days. Please Donate to MISSIO Appeal
