community for empowerment.
Dear Friends, we rarely ask for donations, but right now we must.
​
Our small Core Team give their time voluntarily, but we need your financial support to keep Root & Branch running, enable our outreach to grow, and ensure that our webinars and events remain free to all.
​
Please give to our fundraising appeal if you possibly can.
A regular monthly donation, especially, increases our ability to plan for the future.

Brian was an inspiration to so many of us and a dear friend of Root & Branch.
A man of kindness, truth and justice.
​
On March 1, the 41st anniversary of his ordination to the priesthood, one of us asked him what the best thing was about being a priest.
He said ‘I found the best thing was the intimacy and connection you had with people when they were at their most fragile or lowest point. It was a sacramental moment.’
Then he went on, ‘To be honest since the book [Cardinal Sin] came out I really learned what being a priest is. It’s not really about liturgy. Or ordination come to that. I’ve been very blessed to meet many people in need.’
​
Brian, you are irreplaceable. Rest in Peace.
