EXHIBITION ABOUT 1982 PAPAL VISIT
Step back in time and reflect on Pope John Paul II’s historic visit to our diocese by exploring a fantastic exhibition at Our Lady of Grace Church, in Prestwich. The exhibition features a range of photographs and mementos from that wonderful day on 31st May 1982, where the Pope celebrated Mass in Heaton Park and ordained 12 men to the priesthood. It will run until Sunday 3rd July and can be visited between 9am and 6pm Monday to Saturday and between 8am and 12 noon on Sundays
A MESSAGE FROM CAFOD – The paradox of abundance
Over 800 million people go hungry each day. The world produces over 4 billion tonnes of food and we only need 3.7 billion tonnes to feed everyone. Of this food produced a third is wasted. St. John Paul II called this ‘the paradox of abundance.’ Clearly the currently global food system is not working. Pope Francis says, “Each of us has a role to play in transforming food systems for the benefit of people and the planet.” Let’s respond to his call! CAFOD’s new campaign is called Fix the Food System. See www.cafod.org.uk/food for more information.
