WESTMINSTER CITY COUNCIL AGREE TO ASSIST WITH RESETTLEMENT OF 50 SYRIAN REFUGEES IN THE UNITED KINGDOM
A candlelit carol service held in Farm Street Jesuit Church in Mayfair in early December 2014, in support of the suffering Church in Syria and Iraq, helped to raise more than £2,000 for Aid to the Church in Need (ACN).
At the end of the service Fr Dominic Robinson SJ, who is currently Interim Chair of Churches Together in Westminster, announced that Westminster City Council has agreed to give its support to the resettlement of 50 Syrian refugees within the United Kingdom. Accommodation for the refugees (not necessarily in Westminster) will be provided with assistance from both private landlords in the Christian congregations, and the community organising group London Citizens. Westminster City Council will be requesting full funding from the European Union to facilitate this.
Any churches or individuals interested in helping with this resettlement project should please contact Fr Dominic Robinson SJ, 114 Mount Street, London W1K 3AH, Tel: 020-7529-4802.
Farm Street Church’s own Aid for Syria project not only raises funds for the Jesuit Refugee Service and Aid to the Church in Need for use in their respective work with refugees both in and from Syria, but it also aims to raise awareness and provide opportunities for prayer for the people affected by the current conflicts. Its shrine focuses on kidnapped Jesuit Fr Paolo dall’Oglio SJ missing since July 2013 and Fr Francis van der Lugt SJ, who was murdered in Homs in April 2014.
