APF Diocesan Directors

Most parishes in England and Wales have an APF local secretary and a team of promoters who collect Red Box contributions within the parish.

Throughout the country there are thousands of men and women actively working on behalf of the APF and who support the work of mission with their prayers.

Their activities are coordinated at a Diocesan level by a Director. (A similar network exists throughout our schools in respect of Mission Together.)

As part of the APF worldwide network, members play a vital role in building up the Church and reaching out to the poorest and most in need.

The funds collected through the Red Boxes and annual memberships in each diocese in England and Wales are sent directly to local bishops in our sister churches according to the specific needs they themselves have identified.

To obtain a Red Box please contact your APF Local Secretary or Parish Priest.
