Pope Leo XIV's apostolic letter ‘Dilexi Te’ and encyclical ‘Magnifica Humanitas’ call us to deepen our love for the poorest of our sisters and brothers. In this Artificial Intelligence age, Pope Leo recognises the vital importance of protecting the dignity of every human being. To help us answer this call, Caritas Cardiff-Menevia is holding a day at St. Mary’s Church, Bridgend next Saturday, October 10th . Raymond Friel OBE and Delyth Jewell MS will be the keynote speakers and there will be plenty of opportunity to share and discuss ideas and create new contacts. The idea is that everyone returns home re-energised and more able to live out their Christian calling faithfully. To register please email caritas@cardiffmenevia.org
