HOME MISSION SUNDAY – 20^th Sept 09 “They will know Him by the good works that you do”.

As we celebrate Home Mission Sunday today, we are invited to reflect on ways in which we can share our faith with others through service and acts of charity. Resources are provided by the Catholic Agency to Support Evangelisation (CASE); some leaflets are available at the back of Church (1 per family) with additional material available on-line at www.caseresources.org.uk. There will be a retiring collection today in support of the work of CASE who rely on diocesan support. CASE also runs the Catholic Enquiry Office, offering free and confidential information about the Catholic faith to enquirers (www.life4seekers.co.uk) and for non-practising/resting Catholics (www.comehomeforchristmas.co.uk). There is also an evangelistic site for 11-13 year olds (www.yfaith.co.uk).
