TRÓCAIRE’S Lenten Campaign
“I am now establishing my covenant with you and with your descendants to come.” Genesis 9:9. We remember Betty and Joel, the parents of little Daniel on the Trocaire box. They have been through many traumatic events but by sticking together, even after they were forcibly separated, Joel and Betty are creating a future for Daniel. Their covenant to each other, before God, is bearing rich fruit. For more information visit or call 1850 408 408 (0800 912 1200 in NI).
