Catholic Care’s 2020 annual review has been published, you can read it here.  This is Bishop Marcus’ summary of its amazing work.

“Despite all the phenomenal challenges and restrictions of the last year, the leadership, staff and volunteers of Catholic Care have diligently continued to provide an outstanding range of services and support to people of all ages across our Diocese. I am in awe of what has been achieved.

This review will give you a flavour of the diverse projects that Catholic Care has delivered during this pandemic and the help given to improve the quality of life for so many individuals who would otherwise have been isolated or left in desperate emotional or material need.

Truly, Catholic Care has been not only Christ’s hands and feet during this crisis but also an expression of the love of His Most Sacred Heart for all those who are poor, vulnerable, or marginalised. Let us pray that the Lord will continue to bless Catholic Care in the years ahead and protect with his Grace all who support it and benefit from its work.”
