Charitable Giving

Apart from our ongoing Care in the Community activities, we also raise money and provide items for local, and in some cases, overseas charities.
Each year, during the weeks leading up to Christmas, the Anglican Church of Paphos brings Christmas cheer to many individuals. From clothes-filled shoe-boxes for seamen to presents for children of needy local families and of refugees.
For Seafarers who are away from home at Christmas, members of St Luke’s Church, Prodromi, donate the contents for gift-wrapped Christmas boxes to The Mission To Seafarers Centre in Limassol, to join those from other Parishes on the island. The Mission’s Chaplain and volunteers visited many ships in Port this Christmas distributing the gifts to Seafarers who each received a box containing a wool hat, gloves or socks and a selection of toiletries and sweets.
The congregation of Ayia Kyriaki responds promptly and very generously in joining with other churches in the Island to give 100+ children in the refugee camp at Kofinou a beautiful Christmas experience. Over 90 individual gift items were donated by the congregation and distributed among children ranging in age from up to one year old and from 8-11 years of age.
Christmas gifts are provided by members of the St Stephen’s congregation Tala through their “Giving (Christmas) Tree” project. The gifts, usually around 80 in number, are presented to the Department of Social Services in Paphos and distributed by its staff to the children of needy families in Paphos.  The Department provides a list of the ages, ranging from new-born to 16 years old and genders (but not names) of the recipient children to enable the presents to be matched accordingly.  
If you would like to be involved or contribute to this work, please contact one of our church wardens or our Parish Priest, the Reverend Ken Waters. Click HERE for an email contact form.
