MISSION APPEAL LAST SUNDAY

Fr. Joachin Nwaorgu, CM a priest of the Congregation of the Mission [Vincentians] made the appeal on behalf of his religious order in support of their mission.



A MISSION GROUP FROM
OUR LADY IMMACULATE, TOLWORTH.


We have been called to advocate for
the "least of our brothers and sisters"
-the abandoned and neglected children
at Cottolengo Filipino Inc.

Many of these children live with
severe disabilities like Cerebral
Palsy and Down Syndrome.

During our mission work, we have seen
the heart breaking reality of children
using makeshift, worn-out wheelchairs
and lacking funds for critical medication
 and dental care.


Our mission is to raise the funds necessary
to provide these essentials and help
the facility "open its doors" to more
children currently waiting for a home.

We are hosting a Filipino Charity Night
 on May 9, 2026(7:30 PM - 10:30 PM)

at our School Hall.

As our neighbours, we would
be deeply grateful if you could
join us ijoin us in this mission of mercy.

Ticket Sales: We would love to welcome the people of St. Matthias to our event. Tickets are available via the QR code on our Posters.

Raffle Donations: We are seeking prizes
to help maximize the funds we send directly directly to the orphanage.

Prayers: Even for those who cannot attend, we ask for your prayers for these children
and the nuns who care for them.



JOIN ARCHBISHOP JOHN WILSON IN PRAYING FOR LIFE THIS MAY

Archbishop John calls on us to join him this May (Month of Mary) in praying for an end to abortion, for peace, for people with disabilities, the elderly and the vulnerable.

All resources for the Rosary for Life are freely available in video, audio and written format.

Pray individually, with your family and friends, or gather your parish community to pray together throughout May and beyond.

Pray the rosary. Encounter Christ.

Defend life. https://rcaos.org.uk/ROSARYFORLIFE
