Trόcaire marks 50th anniversary with launch of Lenten Appeal for Somalia

On Tuesday Feb 21st Trόcaire marked its 50th anniversary with the launch of its annual Lenten Appeal which this year will support the millions of people in hunger crisis in Somalia.

Established in 1973 by the Irish Bishops, Trόcaire has changed the lives of tens of millions of people around the world over the past five decades. Its annual Lenten appeal sees the iconic Trócaire Box displayed in hundreds of thousands of schools, churches, and homes all over the country in the build up to Easter.

We would like to take this opportunity to thanks the students and staff of Sacred Heart for their contributions to this year’s Trocaire appeal. We would especially like to thank Nikhita Kelly ,and Caoimhe McCarthy for coordinating the collection of this money.
