Trócaire Boxes

The boxes for the annual Trócaire

campaign are being distributed today.

This year´s slogan is Join the Fight

for Justice. All are invited to do their

best to raise money for the Trócaire

projects. These are undertaken with a

view to working for a just world, to

help those most in need. Trócaire is

the Irish word for mercy. In the Year

of Mercy it would be appropriate to

make a special effort this Lent. The

boxes should be returned to the

reception in the monastery before

Easter Sunday.

Pioneer Lenten Challenge:

many people abstain from

alcohol and take the short

term pledge for the duration

of Lent. You can do this by

visiting

www.pioneerassociation.ie

and joining on line or by

contacting your local Pioneer

representative. Make this

gesture a prayer for someone

who suffers from an addiction

to alcohol or other substance.

prayer life during Lent, a privileged time to answer the

call to conversion.
