Sunday 14 November is the World Day of the Poor which was initiated by Pope Francis in 2017 with the theme of “let us love, not with words but with deeds.” The Christian is called to follow the example of Jesus in loving God and neighbour, especially the most vulnerable. In our Archdiocese the Society of St Vincent de Paul (SSVP) has been carrying out this mission since 1845. This year the Caritas, Justice and Peace Commission of the Archdiocese wish to use the Special Collection to be taken that weekend to support two SSVP projects; The Furniture Project based in Dunfermline and the Caravan Project based in Port Seton.
As COP26 begins in Glasgow and world leaders gather to discuss the climate emergency, Pope Francis led BBC Radio 4's Thought for the Day earlier this week.
