Trocaire’s annual Lenten campaign begins next Wednesday and marks 40 years of the charity’s development education work

Trocaire's annual Lenten campaign begins next Wednesday and marks 40 years of the charity's development education work. Last year, the diocese of Kilmore topped the generosity stakes giving €4 per capita. This illustration below, a competition-winning design by the students of first and second class at Northampton National School, Kinvara, Co Galway, graces this year's box. In 2013 Trocaire raised €8.5 million, using the funds in 27 countries they work in. See trocaire.org.
