Diocese of Cloyne, County Cork, Ireland
Our thanks to all who supported the priests in the Easter season so far. We appreciate very much their kindness and thought. The next formal offerings to the priests will be in the Autumn time which is six months away.
Your support for your pastors is much appreciated. The priests’ income mainly comes from the Lenten, Easter, Autumn and Christmas offerings. Thank you for your support.
Lent has come to an end and it is time for all the Trócaire boxes to be returned. Trócaire’s campaign this year focuses on people who are trapped in long-running wars, such as those affecting places such as South Sudan and Somalia. Generations of people in these countries have been forced to live through conflict. Their resilience and determination to help each other is remarkable. By donating to the Lenten Appeal, you will be helping them to help themselves. This year your Lenten donations are needed more urgently than ever.
If you have a Trócaire box, simply count or estimate what is in your box and donate now in one of these four easy ways:
Online at trocaire.org
Over the phone at 1850 408 408 (ROI)
By post to Trócaire, Freepost, Maynooth, Co. Kildare (ROI)
Drop it off to the church and it will be sent with all other donations received to the Diocese for transmission to Trócaire.
There was great interest and devotion displayed locally and throughout the country last Sunday Divine Mercy Sunday. Jesus said on one occasion to Sr Faustina: “My daughter, do you think you have written enough about my Mercy? What you have written is but a drop compared to the ocean. I am Love and Mercy itself. There is no misery that could be a match for My Mercy, neither will misery exhaust it, because as it is being granted- it increases. The soul that trusts in My mercy is most fortunate, because I myself take care of it.”
“My Secretary, write I am more generous towards sinners than towards the just. It was for their sake that I came down from heaven; it was for their sake that My blood was spilled. Let them not fear to approach Me; they are most in need of my mercy.
Between Me and you there is an abyss which separates the Creator from the creature. But this abyss is filled with My Mercy”
