CAFOD in Salford

08/06/2026

Today, as we mark World Ocean Day, we remember the words of Pope Francis:

“The entire material universe speaks of God’s love, God’s boundless affection for us. Soil, water, mountains: everything is a caress of God.” (Laudato Si’, 84)

Let us strive to protect this bounteous gift for ourselves and future generations. 💚🌊💚

Hear from CAFOD's Director of Advocacy, Neil Thorns, about the landmark encyclical from Pope Leo regarding AI, and how we respond to the challenges that this technology brings to our world and how we live our lives, in the light of our faith, the Gospel and the history of Catholic teaching.

Today we celebrate the great Solemnity of Corpus Christi, the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ.

May our celebration of the Eucharist always open us to justice and sharing. 🙏

Earlier this week, Department for Energy Security and Net Zero Secretary of State Ed Miliband set out the Government's Seventh Carbon Budget.

Motivated by care for our common home, faith leaders, including our own Diocese of Salford bishop, John Arnold, have welcomed the Government following scientific advice and urge strong implementation of this budget.

As we prepare for the upcoming feast of Corpus Christi use our resources as a family, and with children of all ages, to reflect on the Eucharist and what it means to be part of the Body of Christ.

In 2025, schools collectively fundraised for Water World Gifts and provided 72 families with a water supply! But we want to go further!

A better world needs all of us. Could you fundraise to support more communities to have clean, safe water this summer?
