Lenten Appeal
One mission. Four priorities
Your generosity supports one shared mission: helping people encounter Christ and live that faith in love and service throughout the Diocese.
Through four interconnected areas of diocesan life, your generosity forms hearts, nurtures faith, strengthens families and serves those most in need.
Education
Forming young people in character and faith.
Our diocesan Education Service works side-by-side with every Catholic primary and secondary school. Together, they do more than educate — they form young people in character, resilience and Gospel values to realise their full potential, rooted in faith.
Thanks to your gift, faith formed in the classroom shapes the Church of tomorrow.
Youth & Evangelisation
Guiding young people to encounter Christ.
Young people are searching for meaning and belonging. Through youth ministry and evangelisation initiatives, we accompany young people as they deepen their faith, helping them to grow as missionary disciples, ready to serve and give witness to Christ in their parishes and communities.
With your help, young people are guided towards Christ’s love and equipped to share it with others.
Caritas Westminster
Ensuring no one faces hardship alone.
Too many people are facing life’s hardest moments alone. Guided by the principles of Catholic Social Teaching, Caritas Westminster brings people, parishes, and practical support together — quietly, locally, and with dignity — helping thousands of people across the Diocese facing poverty, disability, isolation and exploitation to regain stability, connection, and hope.
Your generosity ensures practical help and long-term support remain available across all our parish communities.
Marriage & Family Life
Helping families nurture their faith.
Strong families build strong parishes. Through guidance and accompaniment, we help families become the first place where faith is nurtured; supporting couples and families to grow in faith, resilience, commitment and love.
Your support nurtures relationships and strengthens the foundations of community life.
Faith formed. Faith lived. Faith shared
Through Education, Youth & Evangelisation and Marriage & Family Life, faith is formed within our parishes. Through Social Action, that faith reaches outward in love. Together, the priorities of our Lenten Appeal touch the lives of parishioners every day.
