Family Fast Day

Thank you for your support of Family Fast Day! Thanks to your help, we will be able to support more local experts like Sister Consilia in Zimbabwe who gives vital medication at her health centre.

You can continue your Lenten journey with us using the ideas on this page. During this time of social distancing due to the Coronavirus, we pray for everyone who is ill and for health care professionals around the world.  

Our next Family Fast Day is Friday 9 October 2020.
