UKRAINIAN REFUGEES IN RUGBY AREA

Hosts in the Rugby area have been welcoming refugee families into their homes. Sacred Heart hosted the first of our coffee mornings last Wednesday. We welcomed nine Ukrainian families and it went well. Thank you to the team who helped prepare refreshments. Sacred Heart Parish has agreed to run a Coffee Morning and other refreshments on Wednesday mornings each week at 10am to 12 noon. We are able to offer a safe and welcoming place where people can gather to support one another at this difficult time and support and help can be offered or arranged as needed. Offers of help welcome to make drinks and provide small cakes or traybakes. If you would like to help please contact Diane on 07951177910.

Fr Hudson’s Care on behalf of the diocese is working hard to coordinate and help to support efforts being made in various parts of the diocese. They have much expertise in working with refugees and asylum seekers over many years. They are receiving many requests for support through St Chad’s Sanctuary in Birmingham. They need vital funds to expand and develop the support which is vitally needed. Thank you for your support. Any cheques to Fr Hudsons.

PRAYER FOR UKRAINE
Loving God,
We pray for the people of Ukraine,
for all those suffering or afraid,
that you will be close to them and protect them.
We pray for world leaders,
for compassion, strength, and wisdom to guide their
choices.
We pray for the world
that in this moment of crisis,
we may reach out in solidarity
to our brothers and sisters in need.
May we walk in your ways
so that peace and justice
become a reality for the people of Ukraine
and for all the world.
Amen.
