Sea Sunday 19th July 2026
News & Information
Seafarers and fishers play a vital role in all our lives, as they bring us most of what we consume and use on a daily basis. But they often work in difficult and dangerous conditions.
Conflicts around the world are increasing risks to their safety, especially for crews travelling through regions such as the Strait of Hormuz. Many also face abandonment by employers, long separations from family, stress, and poor mental health.
Stella Maris (formerly known as Apostleship of the Sea) is the maritime charity of the Catholic Church. Its chaplains and ship visitors provide practical help and pastoral care to seafarers and fishers in the UK and around the world. Please stand alongside them, so they always have someone to turn to in times of need.
We invite you to support Sea Sunday on Sunday 19 July by praying for seafarers and giving through the collection at Mass. or through the card readers. You can also give by visiting THIS LINK, or by texting ‘SEA’ to 70460 to donate £5. Thank you for your care and generosity.
