TROCAIRE
We have reached the end of Lent and now move with hope and joy into the Easter period. The story of Easter brings us out of the darkness of despair into the light and we believe that God work in situations that appear hopeless, to bring forth new life. The Easter story
reminds us that Jesus is risen and that in our lives, even when it seems desperate,
there is always hope of new life.
As we move out of Holy Week and into the joy of Easter, it is an opportunity for us
to bring our Trocaire boxes and contributions back to the church as a sign of our
solidarity with the poor around the world. It is our opportunity to make a
difference and support communities all over the world.
The Offertory collection next weekend is to go to Trocaire.
