CAFOD & Global Mission
CAFOD is the official overseas aid agency of the Catholic Church in England and Wales.
Through your prayers, generosity, and acts of solidarity, our parish joins Catholics across the world in supporting communities facing poverty, conflict, climate crisis, and injustice.
CAFOD works with local experts and Church partners in more than 30 countries to bring hope, dignity, and lasting change to those who need it most.
Emergency response – bringing rapid aid after earthquakes, floods, war, and famine.
Long-term development – supporting farming, healthcare, education, and clean water.
Climate justice – campaigning for a sustainable future and supporting vulnerable communities.
Parish and school engagement – providing resources that help Catholics live their faith through action.
Faith and prayer resources – reflections, liturgical materials, and prayers of intercession.
CAFOD’s approach is rooted in Catholic Social Teaching and the Gospel call to love our neighbour.
