CAFOD Lent Fast day - Friday 26th February
This year the focus is on water. 1 in 3 people around the world don't have clean safe water. This Lent CAFOD are asking us to make a powerful difference to many peoples' lives. By giving on line or in the collection next weekend you can help provide boreholes and solar powered water pumps to remote communities. You can help to save lives.
