Called to Solidarity - WAD 2020

A virtual service to mark World AIDS Day

On Saturday 5th December, we celebrated a World AIDS Day Service with friends from around the world. Please watch this video and join us as we pray for those who are abandoned, to remember those who have died, and to pray & work for justice.

The Name of Jesus is written on the forehead of people who are HIV+. They bear the wounds of suffering, of stigma and rejection.

– John Sherrington CP, 1947-2020
