FUN WAYS TO GET INVOLVED AND HELP RAISE MONEY FOR THE REACHING OUT PROJECT

Webmaster • September 24, 2023


From sponsored fun runs to bake sales the list is endless of ways to raise money for the Reaching Out initiative, have some fun as a family or group of friends, and help out other families. The money raised will go towards buying food and toiletries which will be distributed to local schools and colleges in Cardiff. These will be given to students and children whose families are struggling financially at this time. There are many ways to help out, such as doing sponsored activities or sponsoring those who are doing an activity to raise money for this cause. Sponsored activities can include anything from Pilgrim walks, Half marathons, Park Run, Cycling events, Cake Bakes, Garden Parties, Sponsored Knits etc. The money raised is really appreciated by those who receive the food donations and can help make their day a lot better.

You can access sponsorship forms on the church website in the sections on the Reaching Our Project or set up a JustGiving page: https://www.justgiving.com

Please let David Barnett know if you want any help with planning or advertising activities on 07311832169 or davidipod248@gmail.com

The joy that fills the Church at the birth of Jesus is celebrated throughout the Christmas season. The Church, as a continuation of the Christmas Feast, celebrates the Octave of Christmas, that is, the eight days between Christmas and New Year’s Day as a special celebration, with each day celebrated with prayer based on the Angels’ message to the Shepherds, the Gloria.  Unlike our society, which seems to see December 25th as the end of the Christmas season, for us, December 25th is the beginning of Christmastime. These days between Christmas and New Year see many people taking leave, which is a great opportunity to spend more time with the Lord and come to a Christmas Octave Mass. During this week, we will celebrate the feasts of St. Stephen on the 26th , St. John the Apostle on the 27th and the Feast of the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph next Sunday. This all culminates in the celebration of Mary, the Mother of God, on New Year’s Day.
