As each day goes by, the situation worsens. As people of faith we must act. Your donations can help CAFOD’s local experts to provide emergency food supplies to families in the worst affected countries in East Africa and support communities around the world working hard to put food on the table. Please give today or start a monthly gift to CAFOD.

X MONTHLY MONDAY CONNECT CLUB – the first meeting of the club will be Monday 3rd October 2022 at St Joseph’s Church Hall from 1.30pm to 3.45pm. 

The main purpose of the club is to allow individuals to meet up over a cup of tea and cake and get to know one another. You can play board games, knit, paint or sew or simply just natter. Many will remember the previous club for the mature and wise that used to take place before the pandemic and it is hoped that this will be a welcome return to normal.
