Sea Sunday - July 12th
Sat 13 Jun 2009 Filed in: Pastoral
The aim of the Sea Sunday appeal is to enable the Apostleship of the Sea (AoS) to provide their pastoral outreach to over one million seafarers a year who work away from home and loved ones for up to a year at a time in grueling and often dangerous conditions. Across the country there are now 1,000 ships and 20,000 seafarers visited each month by trained Catholic pastoral workers. Masses celebrated onboard ships are regular events in many ports. AoS is an independent charity who rely solely on voluntary donations to continue its ministry.
