 Family Giving Tree 
 

The Family giving Tree in The Sacred Heart Church, Borrisoleigh

Throughout Advent, Trócaire, the overseas development agency of the Irish Catholic Church, runs its annual Christmas gifts appeal, Global Gift. Trócaire offers a range of ethical Christmas gifts that people can purchase for friends and family, which the organisation distributes to poor and vulnerable families and communities in the developing world.
 
Trócaire’s Global Gifts reflect the true meaning of Christmas as they provide a meaningful alternative to conventional Christmas presents and remind us of the compassion Christ showed during his lifetime. Global Gifts (ranging in price from €7 to €200) may be purchased locally from The Post Office, O’Connell’s Pharmacy, Stapleton’s of Main St., Coffey’s of Lower St. and Bourkes’s Hardware. You will receive a Global Gift Card to send to the person in whose name you purchased the gift, and also a ribbon representing your gift which can then be attached to the Family Giving Tree in the Sacred Heart Church in Borrisoleigh.
