Archbishop Farrell has asked for a Diocesan Collection to be taken up in support of the people of Turkey & Syria affected by the devastating earthquakes. The Collection will take place this weekend & will replace the SHARE collection. The donations will be channelled through Trócaire, who are working with partners in the affected area. They have the capability to ensure that any funds raised in Ireland will be managed appropriately to meet the needs of those most badly affected.
