Year 13 A.R.C

By Miss T GAUGHAN5th October 2015

Year 13 A.R.C have been looking into the ‘Catholic Worker Farm’ which offers accommodation and support to 22 destitute female asylum seekers and their children. All of the women have been homeless and have been recommended to the Catholic worker Farm by refugee services. The Catholic Worker Farm gains no support from the government and strongly relies upon donations. This year, the 13 A.R.C group will be supporting this cause by collecting basic items which may seem little to many of us but is of great importance to the Farm. Already they have shown great generosity and I am sure that this will continue to be the case. Keep up the brilliant work!  “Jesus came to serve not to be served.”

Food Bank Visit

13th February 2015Richard Kelly

‘It was a great experience to go to the local food bank, and it did make me realise that everything that we are doing is helping people, which felt good. I hope we continue to support collecting food for the local food bank, as people do tend to forget that people in their own community also may need support but are too embarrassed to say anything. Establishments like this food bank offer people support when they need it most, and as Catholics it is our duty to help. Thank you to all those who helped us make such an excellent donation’
