The aim of the group is to fund-raise and educate ourselves about important social issues and campaigns, and to raise these issues before the church community including Cafod's campaigns and Family Fast Days.
The group helped the Parish to attain the CAFOD 'Live Simply' award in 2019 and through the Laudato Si Movement encourages prayer, personal change and community activism on the climate; we are a Fairtrade Parish - where, as much as we can, we buy Fairtrade products for our consumables and we use environmentally friendly products.
We meet monthly as a small Laudato Si Circle to pray according to Pope Francis' invitation to 'Care for our Common Home' in his letter, Laudato Si in 2015, and inform one another of current issues and act, as in some events like the Electronics Amnesty and bulb planting. We lobby M.P.`s as appropriate.
There is usually an update in the weekly newsletter with things to think about or take action on, each week.
