Luminous Mysteries of the Rosary
Every Thursday morning, from the 4 August 9:00am-9:30am
Join us every Thursday morning at 9:00 am on Zoom, as we pray the Luminous mysteries of the rosary together as a CAFOD community at a time when millions of families are facing a food crisis that could be worse than any we’ve lived through. We offer these luminous mysteries, nourishing our commitment to dispel the darkness of poverty and tackle the causes of hunger in our world. Join us as together in prayer we let these mysteries penetrate deep within us and respond with compassion to the scandal of hunger and poverty in our world.

Culture of Encounter Workshop (Session 2)
Tuesday, 6 September 7:00pm-8:00pm
We are excited to continue our series “culture of encounter”.
In this session we will be joined by three Catholic women from different backgrounds in England and Wales to reflect on the legacy of CAFOD’s founding mothers who organised the first family fast day in 1960, and to look with renewed hope to the future. After hearing their contributions, we will go into break-out groups and have a chance in an informal atmosphere to talk with people from across the extended family of faith communities to further explore being a Catholic today, and how our contribution continues to inspire CAFOD’s work in creating a culture of encounter for all.

Fast Day and the global food crisis

Join us to hear from our our guest speaker Catherine Ogolla country representative for Kenya and Uganda & Eritrea. In Kenya, Ethiopia and South Sudan, up to 20 million people are fighting for their very survival as they face a food crisis that could be worse than any we’ve lived through. Catherine will share what is happening and what we can do.

Fix the Food System: Our new campaign
Our food system is broken. It doesn’t work for the people who work the hardest and it doesn’t work for the planet. Profits come before people, and the farmers who grow our food live in poverty. The good news? Alternatives already exist, and communities who work with CAFOD are leading the way, growing food in ways that are good for people and the planet.

CAFOD Human Rights Day event
Human rights defenders in Latin America help to keep governments and businesses in check, put people ahead of profits, and protect our planet. Yet, in return for their work, they face criminalisation, harassment and violence. CAFOD’s recent report, Protecting our common home: land and human rights defenders in Latin America, found that the Covid-19 pandemic has exacerbated deep inequalities and led to increased attacks on human rights defenders and their communities.
