Our beginnings came when the National Board of Catholic Women organised a Family Fast Day in response to a request from the people of the Caribbean Island of Dominica for help with a mother-and-baby healthcare programme.

In 1962, the Catholic Bishops of England and Wales officially set up CAFOD - then known as the Catholic Fund for Overseas Development, but today is the Catholic Agency for Overseas Development.

The aim was to provide a focus for all the small-scale charitable efforts which were already taking place.

Today, we are still bringing about change as a result of the immense commitment and generosity of the Catholic communities of England and Wales.

Beloved People of God, “Everything is permissible but not everything is beneficial” (1Cor. 6:12).

 

"Beloved let us love one another, for love is of God: and everyone who loves God is born of God and knows God"  (First Epistle of St John, chapter 4 verse 7).
