Bishop Brendan Kelly has written to say thanks for your contributions to the recent Trócaire East Africa emergency collection:
The returns so far received from parishes across the diocese reveal that there has been an outstanding response to the Trócaire Emergency Appeal for East Africa on the weekend of 6th/7th November. This is good news at a time of much uncertainty on so many fronts, and so good to see as we enter Advent, the season of promise and of hope unborn. We too must be agents of salvation for others, beginning in the here and now. Very many parishioners have chosen to be so, with great generosity, in response to this unfolding devastation for our brothers and sisters across five countries in East Africa. I write to say a simple ‘Thank you’. The Saviour born to us at Christmas will bless and reward you.
Bishop Brendan Kelly
Bishop of Galway & Kilmacduagh & Apostolic Administrator of Kilfenora
