Stella Maris Quiz

Posted on May 31, 2021 by -

Do you know your dredgers from your cargo ships? Your port from your starboard? Your leagues from your fathoms? Then why not test your knowledge of all things maritime and join us and other Stella Maris supporters from all around the country in our first ever online quiz!

Date: Thursday 24th June
Time: 7pm – 8.30pm
Location: Zoom

Your online hosts for the evening quiz will be chaplains from our North East England & Humber region who will be testing your knowledge, and also sharing some information about our work.

You can participate as an individual or as a team, and there will be prizes for those with the highest scores.

This is a free event in celebration of the Day of the Seafarer, but there is a suggested £5 donation to take part, and every pound donated will help support seafarers and fishers in need.

We hope you can join us for this fun-filled evening!

2021 Thank you and Update webinar

Posted on March 3, 2021 by -

This has been a year like no other. In March 2020 the world came to a standstill, planes stopped, shops and offices closed, people stayed at home.  But ships and fishing vessels kept going. And thanks to your support, we were able to be there for seafarers and fishers when they needed us the most.

On Tuesday 23rd March we shared an online update and thank you webinar to show the important impact of your generosity on the lives of seafarers, fishers, and their families over the last 12 months.

Speakers included our Chair of Trustees (Captain Esteban Pacha), Chief Executive Officer and European Regional Coordinator (Martin Foley), Senior Area Port Chaplain for South of England and Wales (Deacon Nick O’Neill), and Port Chaplain for Manila, Philippines (Father Paulo Prigol). There was also some powerful video and audio stories from seafarers and fishers whom you have helped support during this difficult period. 

You can now watch a recording of the webinar below
