St Mary of the Rosary in Forest Hall marked World Food Day with a shared lunch after Sunday Mass and a collection of goods for two local food bank charities.
Speaking before an audience of UN and world leaders and goodwill ambassadors gathered at FAO to mark World Food Day and the organisation’s 80th anniversary. Pope Leo XIV said:
“We cannot be content with proclaiming values; we must embody them,” he said, calling for a renewed ethical foundation: “Slogans do not lift people from misery. We must place the human person above profit and guarantee food security, access to resources, and sustainable rural development.”
At St Mary’s Fr Hall lead hymns of ‘All things Bright and Beautiful’ and bidding prayers thanked those who feed us and those with less than us.
A celebration of culture, friendship, charity and thanks.
