The bishop was speaking ahead of the annual Reach Out that takes place in parishes across the diocese this coming weekend, December 14-15. For the past 15 years, on the third Sunday of Advent parishioners have invited to take home from church, for themselves and for someone else, a Christmas card with a greeting from the Bishop and a gift from the parish. The gift this year is a trolley coin keyring with the message ‘Share with the hungry’.
Bishop Nulty said: “I want to encourage people’s generosity even more now. I want to highlight the work of St Vincent de Paul and ask people, as they do their shopping, to remember and support the St Vincent de Paul annual appeal.”
