Family Fast Day is on Friday 11 March. Join in Family Fast Day with our parish, friends and family so that more children can grow up big and strong.

By eating simply and giving what you save, you’ll be making a place at your table for children like Lombeh this Lent. Because no child should go hungry. 

Lombeh was dangerously malnourished as a baby. She was so small she almost died.

Lombeh’s mum, Amie, told us: “The sickness was just getting worse and we were scared.” Thankfully, Amie and a small team of local health experts made sure Lombeh got the support she needed. Now, she’s big and strong.

Around the world, there are 200 million more children like Lombeh whose lives are at risk from malnutrition. 

Our parish can help reach more families facing poverty and hunger this Lent. By supporting new mothers like Amie with expert advice and training from health clinics, such as the one run by Sr Anthonia, children like Lombeh can grow up big, strong, happy and healthy.

Please support our parish collection.
