CAFOD LENT FAST DAY is Friday, 19th February. This Lent Fast Day, we
have an opportunity to come together as a Catholic community to ensure
girls living in the worlds poorest countries are free to change their lives by getting an education.
CAFOD is working with local expert organisations around the world to bring water to family
homes, so girls who used to spend hours collecting it every day, now have time for school, study
and to play with their friends. Fast Days are our opportunity to support that vital work. Please
remember to fast on Lent Fast Day. Your Fast Day envelope is attached to this weeks bulletin
and can be returned next weekend when there will be a retiring collection for CAFOD Lent Fast
Day. And there is very good news: the UK government has promised to match every pound and
penny you give this Lent! Please be as generous as you can so that more girls around the world
are able to live lives free from the burden of the long walk for water. For more information visit
cafod.org.uk
