As Lent begins this coming week on Ash Wednesday, 22nd February 2023, the annual Trócaire Lenten campaign will begin. Some parishioners in recent years had expressed a willingness to distribute Trócaire boxes in their local areas. This would be a great way of helping Trócaire. Therefore, if you would like to distribute the boxes in your area, please call to the sacristy after Mass in any of the Churches of both parishes, and take the number of boxes needed. Trócaire boxes will also be distributed in the Churches and in the schools.
