Mary’s Meals Appeal – This Weekend

Webmaster • July 1, 2023


We were due to have an appeal to support Mary’s Meals earlier in the year, but due to the ill-health of the husband of Ann White, who is making the appeal, it has had to be cancelled. Ann will now be visiting the parish asking for your support this weekend. (2nd July)


Mary’s Meals is a registered charity, founded by Catholics and based in the UK, serving a nutritious daily meal to some of the world’s poorest children to attract them into the classroom where they can gain an education and a brighter future. There are 67 million primary school-age children out of school around the world; they have to work or beg to survive. When they do make it into the classroom, hunger affects their ability to learn.


Mary’s Meals gives children the energy to learn so they can become the men and women who will lift their communities out of poverty in later life. Please support Ann’s appeal this weekend with your usual generosity.
