CAFOD’s Lent Fast Day

This year, parish donations to CAFOD’s Lent Fast Day (2 March) this year will be doubled at no extra cost to parishioners. Under the UK Aid Match initiative, the UK government will match pound for pound all parish and individual donations towards CAFOD’s Lenten appeal, including funds raised for Fast Day.

UK Aid Match is a scheme that allows the UK public to have a say in how some of the government’s international aid budget is spent.

All donations made, as a result of Lent fundraising activities that happen from mid-February 2012 to mid-May 2012 will qualify.

FRIDAY FAST

The Bishops are calling us to reinstate Friday as a day of fasting and abstinence, to identify with the Lord’s offering on the cross, solidarity with those in need and to deepen our Catholic identity. For most of us this means refraining from eating meat, those who do not eat meat as part of their diet could make their witness by abstaining from some other food. If you would to read more about it there is more information on the notice board.
