Thank you

Justice and Peace

Bidding in the auction to play in the charity football match at the Riverside Stadium will close on Friday at noon.

At the time of writing (Wednesday evening) £300 had been raised in support of Fr John Paul’s bid to play in the first half.

All proceeds from this event will go to the Children’s Cancer Hospital in Baghdad where this money is desperately needed. Sincere thanks to the parishioners of St Clare’s for their very generous support.
John Hinman, one of the Baghdad Appeal’s organisers, writes,

‘Every item we send is at the request of the medical team and is of great importance for sick and vulnerable children. We are now raising funds for the sixth consignment and we are particularly grateful for the help we are receiving from Father Paul Farrer and his team; Dave Allen, Middlesbrough Football Club and the Knights of St Columba, as well as many other generous supporters.’

Professor Ibrahim al-Nassir of the Children’s Cancer Hospital adds, “Thank God for this help.”
