Returning your Trocaire Box can make a BIG difference !
Pentecost is linked closely with Easter and with Trócaire’s mission. ‘You shall receive power … and you will be my witnesses’ (Acts 1:8). As the disciples received their mission to go out and share the Good News, we in
Trócaire are missioned by the Irish Church to go out to the world to care for the most vulnerable.
As you know, donations made through the
annual Trócaire Lenten Campaign, especially the Trócaire box, fund
lifesaving programmes around the world. Due to the necessary
restrictions related to COVID-19, thousands of Trócaire
boxes are sitting in homes across Ireland. This is the worst possible
time coming just as the world’s poorest people need us most. Millions of
people who live without access to adequate water supplies, sanitation
and healthcare are now faced with the threat
of COVID-19. We have done – and continue to do – so much to protect
each other. Now it is time to protect the worlds’ most vulnerable.
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.
