APF Boxes
Collecting for overseas missions
Members of the congregation may request a Red Box in which they can put any spare small change - or larger amounts -to support mission dioceses on their way to self sufficiency. Periodically, a parish promoter will visit to collect the contents. The funds are transferred to the central account of the Association for the Propagation of the Faith, or APF, and are then sent directly to local bishops according to their needs.
Red Box donations are made regularly in over 200,000 Catholic homes in England and Wales.

The Asha Deep Project
Asha Deep is situated in the Diocese of Bijnor in India. It has several different homes grouped together for children of different needs: a home for the physically disabled, one for the blind, one for those with learning difficulties etc. There is also a school for them and for mainstream children. All those who are able are taught a skill so that they will not be a burden to their families. There is much misunderstanding and prejudice among local people about disabilities. The Project aims are to reduce this prejudice through education and to demonstrate how these children are “differently abled”. After an appeal by Bishop Gratian an informal group was set up to support the project with regular standing orders, occasional donations and by sponsoring a child.
