'Rise to Our Cause' this Ascension Thursday !

Vicki Dunstone • May 7, 2025

Help the Catholic Children's Society (Plymouth) to support families of all faiths and none through our grant giving, practical parenting skills and help in times of loss.


Following the success of our two previous CCSP Ascension Day fundraisers, this year's event is being held at St Cuthbert Mayne in Launceston on Thursday, 29 May 2025. The event will start with Holy Mass in the church at 12.30pm, followed by a two-course hot lunch and then our Guest Speaker. We are delighted that Phil McCarthy, the Hearts in Search of God project lead, will be joining us who will describe his own walking pilgrimages to Rome and Istanbul and reflect on what it means to be a pilgrim of hope in this Jubilee year.



Tickets cost £15 and can be ordered by -


  • emailing vicki.dunstone@ccsplymouth.org.uk
  • calling the CCSP office on 01364 645420
  • visiting the Parish Office at St Cuthbert Mayne, 21 Mayne Close, St Stephen's Hill, Launceston, Cornwall, PL15 8XQ


All proceeds from this event including a raffle, will go towards helping vulnerable children and families living in the Plymouth Diocese.
