We're back, celebrating Caritas Westminster's 10th Anniversary!
10 years ago, the social action agency of the Diocese of Westminster was born, to support parishes in sharing that distinctive brand of love known as Caritas, which Pope Benedict described as 'an extraordinary force which leads people to opt for courageous and generous engagement in the field of justice and peace'.
The past decade has seen a pandemic, a squeeze on the cost of living, a financial crash, and many other issues of justice and peace, each of which Caritas Westminster has adapted and responded to. John Coleby, Caitlin Boyle and Gail Williams speak on how Caritas Westminster has developed in this time, and what opportunities and challenges it faces in its future.
