On this weeks podcast Colm Hogan from Trocáire joins us to speak about the 2022 Lenten Appeal.We have our regular liturgical odds and ends including saints of the week and of course our reflections on the Sunday gospel which this week is Luke's account of the Transfiguration. Trocaire Lenten Appeal 2022Trócaire is the Irish language word for “compassion”. For almost 50 years Trócaire has put the compassion of Irish people into action. Trócaire is an agency of the Irish Catholic Church. They are the Irish member of the Caritas Internationalis federation.This Lent, Trócaire’s Appeal highlights the impact that climate change and Covid-19 has on people’s lives in Zimbabwe and how the love and generosity of the public can give families a chance to build a better tomorrow. From Southern Zimbabwe, we hear this year the story of Thandekile and her two children -her daughter Nomatter who is 11, and her son Forward who is 8 and who are featured on the Trocaire box this year.  Last year, the generosity of the Irish public helped Trocaire to support 2.7 million people in 20 countries.  Resources and information on the 2022 appeal are available HERE including resources for home, schools and parishes. Text us at +353 874668950 or email at [email protected]
