C&SI - Trocaire Lenten Campaign 2026 - 1 Mar 2026 (S06E15)

On this weeks podcast we catch up with Jane Mellet from Trocaire to hear about the Trocaire 2026 Lenten Campaign. Trocaire is the overseas development agency of the Irish Bishops Conference (the Irish member of Caritas Internationalis) and their annual Lenten Campaign has been running for over 53 years. This years Lenten Campaign accompanies a three-generation family in rural Rwanda, led by Uwamahoro, a young mother supporting her daughter, niece and elderly mother. Through their story, parish communities are invited to reflect on themes of resilience, care for our common home, and the dignity of every person in the face of poverty caused by climate injustice. Their lived experience helps bring the Sunday Gospels to life and connects faith with the call to solidarity.

In part one we have a quick run through the liturgical odds and ends including the saints  of the week. 

In part three we have our weekly reflections on the Sunday gospel. This Sunday is the Second Sunday of Lent and the gospel is Matthew's account of the Transfiguration which tradition identifies as taking place on Mount Tabor. We reflect on our "Tabor Moments" and what it means for us during Lent and beyond.
