CAFOD Harvest Family Fast Day Collection

Webmaster • October 7, 2023

There will be a retiring collection this week for the work of CAFOD.


This year CAFOD is celebrating the support it has been able to offer to a Mobile Clinic in Pakistan. Last year, when flooding hit Pakistan, the team travelled across hundreds of miles to treat people who needed medical help in the aftermath of the disaster. That is how they met Meera. Meera gave birth just as her home was destroyed by the floods. The family moved into a temporary shelter at the side of the road. With little food and nothing but contaminated water to drink, diseases started to spread throughout the camp. Meera told us: “Our children got sick, and we had no medicines.” When Dr. Nasha and her team arrived in her village, Meera hurried to bring her children to the clinic and obtained for them the life-saving medicines and treatment they needed. Meera’s baby, Marwi, is now a healthy one year old. Together, she and her husband have rebuilt their home and are working to recover what they lost in the floods. Dr. Nasha’s mobile medical clinic sends life-saving help to where it is needed most, fast – so when her team arrived in Meera’s village in Pakistan after it had been destroyed by flooding, Meera rushed to the clinic to obtain for her children the treatment they needed. More details about the project can be viewed in the CAFOD video - https://vimeo.com/857106480 Please be generous in your gift to CAFOD and its vital work to provided health care and food to those who need it most.

Reaching Out Project Second Collection – This Weekend

By Webmaster • July 25, 2025
The work of the Reaching Out Project would not be possible without the continued prayers, support and incredible generosity of the people of St. Teilo's with Our Lady of Lourdes. It would be good to be able to report that the level of need is reducing, sadly this is not the case and people are continuing to struggle to provide adequate food for their families. To ensure that this vital work continues, there will be a retiring collection at all Masses this weekend. You can also donate using a debit or credit card at the Electronic Donation Station at the back of St. Teilo’s or online at https://donate.mydona.com/stteilo-our-lady-of-lourdes . The Reaching Out Project enables us as a parish, through your help, to respond to the call from the late Pope Francis, to address poverty and inequality in our community.
