SacredSpace102fm - Trocaire 2020 Lenten Campaign - 23 February 2020 (S10E14)

This week John & Shane are joined by Colm Hogan, Outreach Officer for Trócaire to talk about the 2020 Trocaire Lenten Campaign. We have our regular visit to the saints of the week (adjusted for the period of Lent), local notices and a reflection on the Sunday gospel. Trócaire was established in 1973 as the overseas development agency of the Irish Bishops Conference. Their dual mandate is to support the most vulnerable people in the developing world, while also raising awareness of injustice and global poverty in Ireland. Trócaire works with local partners to support communities in over 20 developing countries with a focus on food and resource rights, women's empowerment and humanitarian response. Colm shares with us some of the challenges facing various communities they work with in different parts of the world and how Trócaire is able to help. He talks to us about this years Lenten campaign featuring Angela and her family in Hondurus and Madris and her family in Kenya.Lots more information by visiting Trocaire's website or Tel: +353 1 629 3333.For those who visit 'Supermacs' there is a facility to donate to Trócaire.
