SUMMARY:Fund-raise for St Gemma's Hospice 'Go Purple' Campaign!
DESCRIPTION:As a charity\, St Gemma’s Hospice relies heavily on the generosity of our local communities to keep their services running\, which costs £15 million a year! \nThroughout the month of May\, St Gemma’s is encouraging local religious groups to help them ‘Turn Leeds Purple’ for the month by hosting small fundraising activities\, such as a coffee morning\, or any social events that might turn into a fundraiser for the hospice. \nEvery pound raised helps St Gemma’s continue providing specialist care and support for local patients and their families when they need it most! \nMore details in the posters below or via fundraising@st-gemma.co.uk!\n  \nGo_Purple_2026_A5_Flyer_Portrait_2s_v15 (2)

SUMMARY:Care for Creation! Local screenings of 'The People's Emergency Briefing'
DESCRIPTION:A message from our environmental collaborators at Climate Action Leeds! \nThe UK faces a growing climate and nature emergency. Yet most people have never been fully briefed on what it means for our lives\, our economy and our future. So much of what we do hear is either outdated or misinformed – and sometimes even deliberate disinformation is spread! A new film from the National Emergency Briefing sets out the risks facing our nation – and the credible\, positive responses available – in a clear and accessible account designed for screenings in communities across the UK. \nOne of several local screenings of The People’s Emergency Briefing film will be at Headingley Enterprise and Arts Centre (HEART) on 20 May which has been organised by Zero Carbon Headingley – here’s the link to book: Peoples Emergency Briefing Film Tickets\, Wednesday 20 May  •  7 PM – 9:15 PM | Eventbrite \nThe National Emergency Briefing (NEB) has also produced a Screening Map: https://www.nebriefing.org/screening-map – and there will be more screenings being registered across our region!

SUMMARY:Safeguarding Saints' Days: St Rita
DESCRIPTION:St Rita of Cascia (1381-1457) became an Augustinian nun after being widowed. She had previously endured 18 years of marriage to a rich\, but quick-tempered and violent husband. She prayed constantly for her husband to experience a change of heart – and he did. When he was later killed in a ‘vendetta’ or ‘honour-feud’\, she prevented her sons from seeking revenge. St Rita is now a Patron Saint of all people suffering spousal abuse and family feuds\, so is one of our ‘Safeguarding Saints’. \nReporting Safeguarding Concerns: If you have information of a safeguarding nature where a child or adult at risk is in immediate danger or requires immediate medical attention call emergency services on 999. Diocese of Leeds Safeguarding can be contacted in confidence by email via Safeguarding@dioceseofleeds.org.uk or speak to our Safeguarding Team on 0113 2618046. Anyone who brings concerns or allegations to the notice of the Church will be responded to sensitively\, respectfully and seriously. All concerns and allegations will be addressed using the Church’s national procedures and in a timely manner. The Catholic Safeguarding Standard Agency (CSSA) can also be contacted on 0207 901 1920 or via email at admin@catholicsafeguarding.org.uk \nSafeguarding is Everybody’s Business – so EVERYBODY is invited to share their thoughts with us about Safeguarding in the Diocese of Leeds\, in confidence\, using our website’s Safeguarding Feedback Form! \n \nSt Rita of Cascia: pray for us! \n
