5 ways your parish can get involved this Harvest

1. Hold a Fast Day collection - Hand out our green Fast Day envelopes as people come into church and share CAFOD's Family Fast Day with your parish by putting up our Harvest poster and reading our short talk at Mass. You'll be amazed by the difference your parish can make!

2. Simple Food Fundraiser - Come together as a parish community for a simple food fundraiser - click here for recipes for soups, stews and curries. Or maybe you would prefer to organise a quiz night - click here to download our general knowledge quiz for your own CAFOD quiz night.

3. Make a Jubilee pledge - Share our newsletter announcement and invite parishioners to make a monthly donation and respond to Pope Leo's call to us to offer a sign of hope to the world this Jubilee Year.

4. Pray with us - sign up to receive our weekly Gospel reflections for ways to give, act and pray with us this Harvest.
