Can You Help This Christmas?
Catholic Care is seeking your help this Christmas in order to provide food, hampers, toys and clothing for those in need across the Parishes and the Diocese of Leeds.
Everyone now knows that the Credit Crunch is striking home, prices are increasing, incomes are standing still and there is a growth in unemployment. Christmas can be a very expensive time of the year and also a time which brings home to us some of the difficulties and troubles that individuals and families face at this time of the year. The media and adverts tell us we should all be happy and full of fun. Yet, for many people, Christmas can be a lonely and difficult time.
This Christmas, Catholic Care is launching a special appeal in order to help individuals and families who may be experiencing difficulties this Christmas when the essential message of the birth of Jesus, Our Lord, is one of peace and inner happiness. Please help us by making a contribution to bringing good will and good cheer to those who may be in need across the Diocese.
Please send a contribution to our special Christmas Appeal to Catholic Care (Diocese of Leeds), 11 North Grange Road, Headingley, Leeds LS6 2BR tel: 0113 3885400. All donations will be acknowledged.
