Justice & Peace Group
The Swindon Deanery has had a Justice & Peace group for more than fifteen years. Over the years the membership and the campaigns have changed, but the enthusiasm has never wavered. The group is about a dozen strong. J&P group members and the local CAFOD parish reps work very closely together.
Our Group Chair is Steve Aftelak.

Our Activities
What
sort of things do we do? Here is a flavour - in the last eighteen
months we have run a Peace Hour, provided a large barbeque for
refugees and asylum seekers in Lydiard Park, and we have given lifts
to refugees and their families to a town pantomime. We also promote CAFOD World
Gifts in the run up to Christmas.
