CAFOD works with local partners and communities across the world - responding to emergencies, promoting long-term development and raising public awareness of the causes of poverty. We work with people of all faiths and none for a safe, sustainable and peaceful world.

The parishioners of St John XXIII in Washington and Penshaw are supporting CAFOD by walking as many steps as possible over the 40 days of Lent to raise funds for the Walk for Water campaign.
