As many of you will be aware Sophie and her partner Deborah were expecting twins. Sadly both babies were born prematurely on 28th September 2012 and neither survived the birth. The prayerful support of our friends and colleagues means so much at this time and will continue to do so in the weeks and months ahead. In the midst of our numbness and grief we consider ourselves fortunate that a priest friend was able to be with us at very short notice to baptise Thea and Gabriel. They were born at 25 weeks plus 2 days and weighed 1lb 8oz and 1lb 11oz respectively. May they rest in peace. All contributions to this Candlelight Fund, set up in their memory, will go towards the work of CAFOD's partner organisation, the Daughters of Charity in Ethiopia, who run several clinics in Tigray and who specialise in mother and child healthcare and reducing HIV transmission. Sophie was fortunate enough to visit this particular programme whilst working for CAFOD, and subsequently she and Deborah have returned to Ethiopia on holiday in happier times. Thank you for your generous support, Sophie and Deborah
