We delivered hundreds of postcards from parishes and communities across the UK as part of our campaign to Defend Asylum. Our campaign calls on the government to do three things: restore the right to asylum, end immigration detention, and put dignity at the heart of the asylum system.

Tomorrow is Racial Justice Sunday. Our faith calls us to challenge racism in all forms because every person is made in the image of God. A better world needs all of us to build communities where all can thrive. See more of our prayers. 🙏 ⤵️ https://bit.ly/4qPUnos

A prayer for Racial Justice Sunday featuring an image of a dove on a stained glass window. The prayer reads: "Father, you created each one of us in your own image. Yet yours is a world made glorious by its rich diversity. This we sometimes misunderstand, sometimes fear. Give us the patience to build on what unites us, to celebrate our differences and to learn from them. Grant us the wisdom to recognise your Church, beyond the walls of a building, reaching out across all communities, countries and cultures. Give us the courage to offer refuge to those in need, to challenge prejudice and seek justice for all. Help us see that you created us in your image. Neighbour or stranger, always our brother or sister. Amen. Prayer by Yashoda Sutcliffe/CARJ (Catholic Association for Racial Justice)"
