Dear Father,

I hope this finds you all well as we journey through Lent in our present restricted circumstances.

It will be much appreciated if you can make my letter on this year’s SCIAF Lenten Appeal available to your parishioners on the 4th Sunday of Lent, March 14th 2021, and encourage a generous response.

Despite the difficulties last year, the support for SCIAF continued to be strong, and I hope the opportunity to support disabled children in South Sudan will be recognised as a very worthy cause for Catholics across Scotland to contribute to this Lent. Through our charity, and the Aid Match from the government, we can make a real difference for many young lives in one of the world’s poorest countries. Thank you for all you continue to do for SCIAF.

With my prayers and good wishes
Bishop Joseph A Toal
Diocese of Motherwell
