The Church’s overseas development charity Trócaire have launched their Christmas 2017 appeal with a new video entitled ‘Until Love Conquers Fear’.
The video highlights the plight of all those facing fear this Christmas, and the work Trócaire does to respond to those in need.
The director of Trócaire, Éamonn Meehan, said: “The people we work with face lots of challenges – hunger, human rights violations, extreme poverty.
“At the heart of it, they all face fear, whether it is the fear of watching your child starve or the fear of being a victim of violence.”
Trócaire’s work can be supported by visiting www.trocaire.org, by calling 1850 408 408, or by visiting Trócaire’s centres in Dublin, Cork and Belfast. Donations can also be made through Trócaire’s ethical Christmas gifts.
