CAFOD offer a nice online Advent calendar which offers prayers and reflections for each day. Also, don’t forget that CAFOD World Gifts booklets are available at the back of the church. Safe to take as nobody has touched them. They include perfect Christmas gifts to give this year, given pandemic limitations.
CAFOD’s WORLD GIFTS range of virtual gifts, make a real difference to families living in poverty across the world. While we have the coronavirus pandemic and lockdown here, we can still be good neighbours to our sisters and brothers overseas by giving World Gifts as Christmas presents to family and friends. The Keep Clean Kit gift for £6 and the Vegetable Garden gift for £10 are just two gifts that will help vulnerable families affected by the pandemic to protect and feed themselves. Let’s spread joy and hope around the world this Christmas. Visit cafod.org.uk/worldgifts
