The Covenant with the Poor

It is 10 years since ‘The Covenant with the Poor’ was written. We have a framed copy in the church. CAFOD wishes to remind us of this as the livesimply so that others may simply live, campaign continues.

We are asked to look at our lifestyles, and see if we can show solidarity with the poor by making pledges to make simple changes.

eg.

To use our cars less
To use less electricity
To use less water
Not to waste food
And any ways to help the environment.

At the back of church there are copies of a wall and a place for pledges to be written, as a family, or individually.

Please take one and fill the promise in. There is no need for a name. We will build our wall showing our promises in the porch. As time passes money saved could be passed on to CAFOD.
