SEA SUNDAY :

Next week is Sea Sunday, when the Church remembers all those who live and work at sea. This year is also ‘The Year of the Seafarer’, and so is a very important year for the Apostleship of the sea and seafarers.

 

Seafarers are commonly recruited from poorer countries where wages are lower. Seafarers work in difficult and often dangerous conditions suffering from loneliness, spiritual deprivation and even exploitation as they transport the goods we use and consume every day.

 

The Apostleship of the Sea (AoS) is the official maritime welfare agency of the Catholic Church in Great Britain. The Apostleship of the Sea reaches out to seafarers that visit our ports each year. Offering pastoral and practical support and care. AoS is wholly dependent on voluntary donations to continue its work; it takes the love of Christ to seafarers in the name of the Church, recognizing them as our brothers and sisters in need.

 

Sea Sunday is your chance to help AoS make a real difference to the lives of seafarers. Everything AoS does is on behalf of Britain’s Catholic community, but it receives no statutory funding from either the Church or the government. The parish will take up a second collection on Sea Sunday for the work of AoS – so please give generously next Sunday, their ministry cannot continue without you.
