CAFOD as part of the Disasters Emergency Committee is appealing for the support of the Catholic Community in its contribution to the fight against the Ebola Crisis. There will be a second collection at all Masses this weekend. It is perhaps worth reflecting that the rich west seems to be waking up to the health issues that face our brothers and sisters in poor countries in a new way now that one of those health issues is starting to affect us. Poverty kills far more people than Ebola ever will, but we often forget this, because rich people don’t die of hunger. So please support this appeal generously, but remember that the fight against poverty will still be with us when, please God, the Ebola crisis ends.
If you wish to donate online instead of via the second collection you can do so
here.
