Harvest Fast Day is Friday, 2 October.

Your support and donations this Harvest Fast Day will enable our partners to work with people across the world to have access to tools and training, and empower them to become self-sufficient despite living in the most difficult of conditions. Additionally, your donations this Fast Day will be used to fund our partners work in Europe and the Middle East to support those affected by the refugee crisis.

Fast Day prayer

Lord, all good things come from you.

You are so loving and generous, you fill our world with wonders.

Inspire us to open our hearts and share your gifts, so that those who are hungry may flourish.

Through your grace, we pray all may celebrate fullness of life.

Help us to be more compassionate, to be aware of your love in each person, and to live as children of one family.

We ask this through Christ our Lord, Amen.

Mary, Mother of God, pray for us.

Thank you.  Christine Renshaw, CAFOD Parish representative.
