A big year for CAFOD |
|
2012 marks the 50th anniversary of the establishment of CAFOD by the Bishops of England and Wales. Since its inception back in 1962, the official aid agency of the Catholic Church has brought hope and compassion to poor communities overseas and stood side-by-side with them to end poverty and injustice. The year will therefore be a special year of thanks to all CAFOD’s committed supporters: to the Conference of Bishops for its ongoing support, to CAFOD’s partners overseas, and to all those who enable its vital work to happen.
Here in the Diocese of Salford, CAFOD hopes to visit many parishes to say a huge “thank- you” to as many supporters as possible.

Sister Anne O’Shea, who served in the parishes of Our Lady of Mount Carmel and St Joseph’s, and latterly in Salford Cathedral for many years as Parish Sister and Sacristan, has died in retirement in Tullamore, Ireland. She was 88 years old. May she rest in peace.
New Evangelisation requires Unity |
|
The lack of unity among Christians is a great challenge to the New Evangelisation, Pope Benedict XVI has said.
Speaking at the Vatican on the opening day of the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity the Pope said that “the lack of unity among Christians prevents the Gospel from being proclaimed more effectively, because it jeopardizes our credibility”.
