  1. Pact for Parishes & Groups

Our Faith in Action Team

Did you know that Pact's roots, dating back more than 120 years, are in the Catholic church?

Today, we work with people of all faiths and none, and our diversity is one of our greatest strengths (Read the Pact Story for more history). Through our Faith in Action Team, we aim to build on this heritage and nurture the close relationships we have with our Catholic and other Christian supporters.

CONTACT US

Theresa Alessandro, Catholic Community Engagement Manager

Theresa is responsible for maintaining Pact's links with groups, networks and organisations in Catholic communities across England & Wales.

                                                        

 Marie Norbury, Faith in Action Volunteering Manager

Marie coordinates our JustPeople programme, which offers individuals the opportunity to reflect on Catholic Social Teaching, strengthen their faith journey, build community and open their hearts and minds to some of the issues faced by people affected by imprisonment.

You can contact the Faith in Action Team at [email protected].
