Support our work

To raise funds to support the work of the Bishops' Conference in faithful witness to the Gospel, the Bishops launched a five-year programme called Faith in the Future. Fourteen projects have been identified as priorities for the coming years and fit into the following categories: supporting ministry, promoting dialogue between religions, faith in action and proclaiming the Good News.
