Every year Trócaire asks for your help during Lent to fund lifesaving programmes around the world. This year, of course, it was not possible to return Trócaire boxes through schools or parishes in the usual way. This is the worst possible timing coming just as the world‘s poorest people need us most. Therefore, Trócaire are appealing to you to return your Lenten donation. Simply count or estimate what is in your box and donate in the following ways:
1. Online at www.trocaire.org
2. By phone: 1850 408 408 (ROI) or 0800 912 1200 (NI).
3 . By Post to Trocaire Maynooth, Co. Kildare (ROI) or Trócaire, 10 King Street, Belfast, BT1 6AD (NI)
4. Please put your donation in an envelope & post through the sacristy door in any of the churches.
The contents of each and every Trócaire box, no matter how small, come together to make a significant difference. This virus knows no borders, but neither does our compassion.
Thank you prayer of the faithful:
As we mark the feast of Pentecost at this time of the year; we celebrate the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. We thank you God for the generosity of the Irish people to Trócaire. We also give thanks for front line workers all over the world, including those in countries where Trócaire works, who are working against the odds to control the corona virus. We pray for all those who have been impacted by COVID–19 in Ireland and around the world. Lord hear us.
