Ethnic Chaplaincies in our Archdiocese


On Saturday and Sunday 8-9 May, the Day of Prayer for Eastern Christians, parishes had a second collection for Fellowship and Aid to the Christians of the East (FACE) charity, with whom the Archdiocese is building a strong relationship.

In particular, schools in the Archdiocese are starting a pen friend initiative with Immaculate Conception school in Beirut, a school damaged by the 2020 Beirut explosion.

Three ways to give to Christians in the East:

1 - give online at www.facecharity.org/give

2 - text DAYOFPRAYER to 70450 to donate £10 (Texts cost £10 donation plus 1 standard rate message)

3 - write a cheque made out to ‘Fellowship and Aid to the Christians of the East’, and send it to:

Judge Sykes Frixou (O’Callaghan - FACE Charity), York House, 23 Kingsway, London, WC2B 6YF.
