Season of Creation & Harvest Sunday 2023

Picture
Picture
As the fruits of the earth are gathered at Harvest time, we are invited to: FAST, PRAY, and GIVE. In this SEASON OF CREATION there are two ways the parish encourages you to express your solidarity with the poor, in York and around the world.
CARECENT COLLECTION
Sunday 24th September 2023 (Harvest Sunday)
Carecent is a breakfast centre in York for all homeless, unemployed or otherwise socially excluded members of our community, providing food, clothing and fellowship in a friendly and non-judgemental environment. Carecent is an ecumenical project based at Central Methodist Church. In addition to offering breakfast 6 days a week, Carecent volunteers offer toiletries, clothing, fellowship, support and advice to their clients. Carecent relies entirely from donations, and your gifts will be gratefully received.
CAFOD FAMILY FAST DAY
​Friday 6th October 2023
CAFOD is the international aid agency of the Catholic Church in England and Wales, and works in partnership with community projects in some of the poorest parts of the world.

Twice a year - in Lent and at Harvest time - Catholic Christians are encouraged to observe Family Fast Day, giving up a meal in solidarity with those who hunger. The money saved is donated to CAFOD, who also invite people to pray for those in need.
As in previous years, members of our parish are invited to bring along donations to add to the offertory collection at Mass at Our Lady's on Harvest Sunday, 24th September.
Collection envelopes for the Family Fast Day will be given out at Masses the weekend before 7th October. You can also donate online.

Thank you for supporting the valuable work of CAFOD.
