 Welcome to St. Clement's CAFOD webpage

CAFOD  is the official overseas development and relief agency of the Catholic Church in England and Wales.

  • Fundraising
    The CAFOD team promotes the Lent and Harvest Fast Days annually. We also fundraise throughout the year for projects in specially chosen regions overseas.
  • Responding to emergencies
    We enable the parish to respond to emergencies, by providing information received from CAFOD as new emergencies break. We keep parishioners informed of what CAFOD is doing, and offer them the opportunity to support the work.
  • Campaigning                                                                                                                                                 We raise awareness of the latest CAFOD campaigns and encourage parish support for action each year.  
  • Prayer and reflecting                                                                                                                             We encourage prayer and reflection on the global implications of faith, through the use CAFOD materials, at mass and other liturgies and by passing on children's liturgy materials.

SPONSORED WALK FOR CAFOD

 

Roger Morton, the CAFOD Manager for Arundel & Brighton who sometimes joins us for Mass, is doing the Surrey Advertiser Charity Walk on 20 April. He has set the ambitious target of raising £1,000 for CAFOD’s vital work with those in extreme poverty in the developing world. Would you be able to help him reach that target?

Sponsorship forms will be available after Mass the weekend of the 12-13 April or you can sponsor him online by going to his fundraising page at www.justgiving.com/rkm Any sponsorship you can afford will be very much appreciated by Roger and especially by those whose lives will be touched by you through CAFOD.

 

  • Clean Gold. 45,000 people signed petitions calling fort clean gold. Many jewellers across the world have signed up to the Golden Rules. The Council for Responsible Jewellery Practices (CRJP) is drawing up voluntary standards for mining. Let's hope the standards come up to those outlined in the 12 Golden Rules and  if they are fully implemented. ..

  • Darfur. CAFOD director Chris Bain travelled to Darfur earlier this year to visit camps and see the life-saving work CAFOD has been supporting. Chris said" Our staff on the ground tell us that the ongoing crisis is worsening.... This is the greatest concentration of human suffering in the world and we need to carry on the vital work...  Please continue to support the people of Chad and Sudan and keep those affected by the crisis in your prayers. .......
