CaritasWestm Caritas Westminster
Social action agency working for a society where all are respected and can live a life of dignity
Our Caritas Parish representatives are part of an integral network of people in the Diocese of Westminster supporting vital services and people in need. Parish representatives are building a bridge between each parish and Caritas to ensure:
• Regular contact is maintained between your Parish and Caritas and Caritas partner organisations
• Your Parish is made fully aware of what Caritas and other Catholic social action charities and organisations are doing in the Diocese of Westminster
• Increased familiarity with Catholic Social Teaching, and putting Love in Action
• Caritas is made more aware of the needs of the Parish and its outreach work
• Opportunities for voluntary work are promoted
What will I do as a Parish Representative?
Parish representatives help promote the charitable work of Caritas and its partners. Here are some ideas of how you can help promote our work in your parish:
• Join the Caritas network to advocate, assist and pray for people in need
• Keep your Parish and community informed of Caritas news and events
• Arrange for one of our staff or volunteers to visit your Parish or local school to speak about our work
• Help raise awareness and support our appeals and campaigns
We do not normally require a DBS check for our Parish representatives, but we will usually ask that you obtain the consent of your Parish priest or organisation.
