We support by prayer the work of Father Michael in Palestine.

We have been involved in sending postcards to our MPs, drawing attention to the incidence of sex trafficking and asking what they are doing to stop it. We pray for those women, men and children who are so abused.

We try to wear black on Thursdays to support those women.
