World Youth Day 2027

Thank you for supporting Cafod’s Family Fast Day. Your generous donations will help more children stay in school. Children like Tayla in Zimbabwe, where CAFOD’s local partners worked with her community to install a solar-powered water supply. Now Tayla has access to safe water and nutritious food at school, helping her to keep learning and develop her God-given talents. If you forgot to bring you envelope last week please return it in the offertory collection or donate online at cafod.org.uk/envelope
