As we prepare for the Annual CAFOD Family Fast Day on the 4th October, the feast day of St Francis of Assisi, let us follow the example of St Francis in his radical commitment to the poor and love for all God’s creations.

Our Catholic Agency for Overseas Development (CAFOD) assist the Northampton Diocese in our work of caring for others in our global family. So, for this years Family Fast day we encourage those who can to donate to CAFOD so that they can continue to respond in communities that face extreme poverty, injustice and climate change.

“Give today so that people around the world can learn new skills and fulfil their God-given potential”
