Crisis in Haiti

On Tuesday night an earthquake struck Haiti killing many thousands. In response, Pope Benedict XVI called on ‘ the generosity of all people’ to support those worst affected. He added that ‘the Catholic Church will not fail to move immediately, through her charitable institutions, to meet the most immediate needs of the population’. Trócaire is the official overseas development agency of the Catholic Church in Ireland and they desperately need your assistance to help the people of Haiti. To donate, please call 1850 408 408 or log on to www.trocaire.org
