Collaborative, Inclusive, Compassionate
We are pleased to announce that from 1st October 2024 the new name of our charity is Father Hudson’s Caritas. At Father Hudson’s Caritas we have been providing support to those in need since 1902. Over the years we have adapted and developed to ensure we are reaching out and supporting those most in need.
Caritas means love, charity, care, concern for others. The term is universal and used across the world by similar organisations driven by a Catholic ethos. We are proud of our ethos, we reach out and support people of all faiths and none and are embedded by our values of being inclusive, welcoming of all and challenging injustice. Having Caritas in our name better reflects our place nationally and internationally, ensuring we are visible both regionally as the social care agency of the Archdiocese of Birmingham and internationally as a Caritas organisation.
Pilgrimage of Hope walk
On Thursday 3rd July we launched our Pilgrimage of Hope walk around Birmingham City Centre.
We were joined by schools and parishioners who completed the walk, took part in the Mass and reflected on hope within the city.
If you would like to complete the walk booklets are available at St Chad’s Cathedral and St Philip’s Cathedral or a copy can be downloaded on the link below.
Meet our Caritas Lead emily
My name is Emily Pugh and I am the new Caritas Development Lead. Caritas means sharing the love of Jesus and I am so excited about my role.
My role will be visiting and working with parishes and schools supporting them in their Caritas work. This will include existing groups within parishes already, helping to set up new groups and looking to the wider community and any support needed there.
Feel free to get in touch if you would like to celebrate any Caritas work within your parish or if you would like to get involved in more.
