Bishop Denis Nulty has called on people across the Diocese of Kildare and Leighlin to ‘Share with the hungry’ as they make their preparations for Christmas and do their Christmas shopping.

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.”
