FUND RAISING FOR ST. DOMINIC'S PRIORY - LATEST!
CLICK ON THE PICTURE TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED. . .
Nicholas Steven, 61 and a friend of the Priory, set out on 8th April with two friends to walk to Rome.
The trio are walking the Via Francigena - an ancient pilgrimage route which involves climbing over the St. Bernard Pass which is nearly 8.000 feet high. They were hoping to arrive in Rome by 1st July but arrived on 26th June. Nicholas was hoping to raise £20,760 but the aim has now been downsized and the new target is £4,000. The new total is now 64% of that. If you would like to make a donation through JustGiving to boost Nick's efforts for St. Dominic's Priory, please click on the picture above.
Press reports on the weather they have been and are experiencing make the trip sound - to say the very least - challenging!
Haiti Emergency
We make no apology for continuing to keep Haiti at the front of our pages: the damage there has been so great that it is going to take years to help its people recover to something resembling what was a normal life for them. It mightn't be a bad idea to investigate how to make a monthly contribution to a charity, ( Cafod - Caritas - Unicef ) which is involved in the country of Haiti. Their rainy season is close to starting and just turn your thoughts to what could happen with the arrival of a hurricane. Hurricanes are forecast to be of increased severity this year though the rain will come anyway. . .

Second Thoughts:
There are other angles to this whole problem of Haiti. It's well worth reading an extract from a BBC web site which asks questions about the effects of donor aid to Haiti since the earthquake and the shaky history of very generous charity donations via NGOs over the years to poor little Haiti. . .

But don't be discouraged: [ Click here ] to get an update on what CAFOD is doing in the area - and don't always believe what the media are writing about charities. Often they have an axe to grind. . . and if you dig deep enough, you may well find that the critics actually never give money to any charity themselves.
