✨Congratulations to the Caritas Students from St Joseph's Parish Blantyre and St Anthony's and St Mark's Rutherglen who each hosted holy hours in their parishes this week as part of the Justice & Peace Scotland Parish Project they are working on for their Caritas Award.

✝️The group in St Joseph's have been learning, praying and acting around the theme of refugees and migrants and hosted a "Welcome The Stranger" holy hour for their parish on Tuesday evening. Thank you to Scottish Faiths Action for Refugees for helping the group learn more about refugees and the difficulties they face both in their own countries and once they get to the UK.

🙏In St Anthony's and St Mark's the young people have been exploring the issue of human trafficking and modern slavery. They were visited by Survivors of Human Trafficking in Scotland who told them how people end up trapped in situations of trafficking and about the work they do to recover people and help them rebuild their lives. On Wednesday the group hosted a holy hour dedicated to St Josephine Bakhita, the patron saint of victims and survivors of human trafficking, to pray for all trapped in modern slavery today.

💜Huge thanks and well done to all the Caritas young people involved and to the parish priests and volunteers who are working with us to pilot the Justice & Peace Scotland Caritas Parish Project in their parishes.
