Trocaire launches lenten campaign at tubberclair school

The charity Trocaire has launched its Lenten campaign at St Clare's National School in Tubberclair, Athlone.

Earlier today (Wednesday), children from the school recieved their first Trocaire boxes as part of the long-running fundraising initiative.

For the first time, a new Trocaire box app is also available to download free on IOS and Android.

The Trocaire Lenten Campaign begins today (Ash Wednesday) and runs to Easter Sunday, 5 April.

To support the work done by Trocaire this Lent, visit trocaire.org, call 1850 408 408, pick up a Trocaire box from a local parish or download the new Trocaire box app.
