CAFOD: Cancel the Debt Petition

By Webmaster • August 1, 2025
You are invited to sign a worldwide Church petition about a debt crisis that is affecting the world’s poorest countries. Father Charlie Chilufya, a priest based in Kenya, has sent a letter to parishes in England and Wales, saying: “Dear brothers and sisters, Greetings from the Archdiocese of Nairobi in this Jubilee Year. 54 countries are facing a devastating debt crisis. Kenya is one of them, currently spending five times as much on repaying foreign debts as it spends on hospitals and doctors. For countries like Kenya, this is not a choice.” Often, countries have repaid their original debt several times over, but the debt will never be cleared because the interest keeps growing. This is having a devastating impact on ordinary people. Pope Francis called for action on this debt crisis many times over the last year. Please sign the petition online, using this link: https://bit.ly/4jHK4OD . The petition is being signed by people in Catholic parishes all over the world. Thank you.

SPUC – Society for the protection of unborn children

By Webmaster • July 19, 2025
As we all know, in the space of just one week at the end of June, MPs voted to decriminalise abortion up to birth and to legalise assisted suicide. These recent events have been a result of determined efforts by activists eager to expand the culture of death. Sadly, the pro-life movement simply do not have enough people active in the range of pro-life activities to contend successfully in the struggle for pro-life values. However, SPUC are as determined as ever to defeat abortion and assisted suicide and believe this can be done by mobilising adequate pro-life support. SPUC therefore urgently need to build up the critical mass of people necessary to effect real and lasting protection for unborn children and vulnerable people at the end of life.  To Join the Fightback all parishioners are encouraged to complete an expression of an interest in SPUCs work, by completing a postcard at the back of the Church today. The postcards will be collected from the back of the Church and send to SPUC at no cost to you.

An Act of Spiritual Communion


My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.

I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul.

Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally,

come at least spiritually into my heart.

I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You.

 Amen.
