This Years Trócaire Lenten Campaign.

Trócaire’s Lenten campaign this year is about 26 million of our brothers and sisters worldwide who have been forced to abandon their homes because of armed conflict and violence. People such as Khalid and his family, who appear on this year’s Trócaire box, are forced from their homes in terrifying circumstances losing their land, their livelihoods, and often even their own family members. As Christians, we are challenged this Lent to open our eyes to the pain of these displaced peoples. We are called, like the Good Samaritan, to go to the help of our suffering brothers and sisters. One very effective way of doing this is by supporting Trocaire's Lenten campaign this year or doing the 24Hr Fast on the 6th/7th of March and remembering to pick up your Trócaire box today.

You'll find a link to Trócaire on the menu bar at the side of this page.

You can pick up your box in the church.

Also, why not take a look at our Lenten Display in The Church, beside Our Lady's Statue and the Baptismal Font.
