TRINITY SEASON

Call for Prayer for Members of the Defence Forces in Chad
The Archbishop of Dublin has called for prayers for the members of the Defence Forces on Peacekeeping duty in Chad and for their families at home.
"The Situation in Chad is very serious with many lives at great risk. It is a matter or pride that the Irish Army has once again been invited to make a substantial contribution within the international community in the cause of peace. The fact that they have contributed so much over the years is a testament to their courage and professionalism"

 and encouraged them in organising the recent Coffee Day which
raised 1,950 for the Irish Kidney Association.
