Participants in CAFOD’s Step into the Gap programme.

Alongside the many ministries which members of the European province engage in individually and through community, there are three works to which we offer some financial support:

Step into the Gap is a year-long programme run by CAFOD in partnership with the Society of the Holy Child and others. It enables young people aged 18-30 to have experiences in ministries in the UK and developing countries and to deepen their own faith.
