The Earthquakes in Turkey and Syria
The loss of life, destruction and the plight of survivors has preoccupied the news these last few days and the response by way of practical help and generosity has been heart-warming. We have been praying for those who have suffered. Pope Francis has led the way along with many other leaders.
You will have heard the Appeals on TV and responses can be made to the Disasters Committee or CAFOD. Please click to make your donation to DEC or CAFOD.
