Remembering in November

At the beginning of November, as the dazzle of fireworks began to fizzle out, two parishes in the Archdiocese of Cardiff:  Our Lady, Queen of Martyrs in Hereford and Our Lady, Star of the Sea in Mumbles, Swansea hosted CAFOD Memorial Masses.

At CAFOD and as Catholics, we purposefully set aside some time during the month of November to reflect, remember and to pray for all those who have died.

The Memorial Mass is our opportunity to stop and say thank you for the incredible impact our supporters have made. Without them we would not be able to reach those most in need.

In our prayers, we remembered all those who had died not only in our parishes in the past year, but we also remembered with love and affection, all of our committed, quiet and incredibly dedicated supporters who have died over the years.  They may be gone, but they too are never forgotten.

Caritas Social Action Network Roadshow

CAFOD South Wales joined the Archdiocese of Cardiff and the Caritas Social Action Network (CSAN) at their Cardiff roadshow focusing on poverty.

The Social Action Roadshow brought together Catholic charities, clergy, parishioners and other local projects to explore the social action projects already being undertaken throughout the Archdiocese and to look at new ways to build on Pope Francis’s call to be a ‘Church for the Poor’.
