CAFOD
St Marie's Justice & Peace Network: CAFOD
Following a recent survey on J & P activities, the information has been collated and meetings arranged for those who have declared an interest in the various areas of possible activity. The first four areas or interest groups are CAFOD, LIFE, Asylum Seeker Support and the Soup Run and meetings have been arranged about each group and how to become involved. Even if you were not present to declare your interest at the start of the process you will be most welcome to attend any of the meetings.
