Caritas Team

 

Have you got what it takes to be a Caritas Ambassador? 

 

A message from Bishop John Arnold

  It has always been at the very foundation of our Faith that we not only profess our faith and belief in the love of God but that we express that Faith in an active  care and love for our neighbour.  If we claim to believe in the Gospel and ignore the plight and suffering of others around us then we have made our Faith an empty and useless vessel.

  As  Caritas Ambassadors you will make a very generous commitment to put your Faith into practical action; caring for those in need and fighting the disease of poverty that so threatens the well-being of our society and our world.  You will recognise the dignity of every person and will show the way to others how we respond to people’s needs. 

 There are tough challenges ahead but there are always the opportunities to bring the love of God to others through our actions.  Caritas Ambassadors will show all, by example, how we can make our world a better place.
