    The CAFOD team promotes the Lent and Harvest Fast Days annually. We also fundraise throughout the year for projects in specially chosen regions overseas.

  • Campaigning
    We raise awareness of the latest CAFOD campaigns and encourage parish support for action each year

 Fundraising

Through the generosity of St Clement's Parish we have more than £10,131,79p supporting project in Africa through CAFODS Focus Africa appeal . 

CAFOD have now introduced Connect2  an exciting new way to create solidarity across the world. When your parish joins, you'll hear directly from people in developing countries who are working hard, often against the odds, to improve their lives. This is their chance to tell you themselves, in their own words, about how your support is changing their lives. You'll get to know the local people and discover how our partners are making a difference.

St Clement's will be connecting up with the community ofMusha in Rwanda.   

Rwanda

How does a country recover from the horror of genocide? In Musha, eastern Rwanda, the community is involved in trauma counselling, house rebuilding and skills training to help them live without fear.

Over the coming months and weeks we will be hearing more about the community of Musha in coming weeks and months, sharing with them their hopes and dreams as well as the struggles and challenges they face. We will provide regular updates about how CAFOD are helping to transform lives in that community.

 

We launching our connect2 challenge with a evening of music and entertainment provided by the Riotous Brothers . They performed hits of the 60, 70 and there was also be the chance to participate in a musical quiz.

The evening was great fun and provided a chance for everyone in the parish to come together to support the people of Musha .
