CONNECT 2: PUENTECITOS: Thank you to everyone who supported the launch of the new Cafod project in the

make a difference' was the thought they left us with. A liturgical link was made with El Salvador as Father Pat was able to use
a chalice made by a Salvadorean potter especially for the Leeds diocese About 50 people stayed after mass to hear Margaret
Siberry share her experience of visiting the community in Puentecitos. Everyone is welcome to start contributing to the
project by using the donation box at the back of church and by filling up the Cafod small change boxes. If you make
donations to Cafod by direct debit you can ask for them to be allocated to the Connect 2 El Salvador project. Look out for
