The Irish Episcopal Council for Emigrants have been responding to the needs of Irish emigrants around the world since 1957.

Through pastoral centres in the US and the UK, we provide direct practical assistance to those experiencing hardship. This can be as simple as providing hot water bottles, electric blankets, furniture, and food those who are most in need and are struggling to keep warm and pay their bills.

We also help our clients access statutory services – including housing and benefits and very importantly we provide social and friendship supports – reaching out to those who are lonely and vulnerable.

Thanks to all those who generously support the collection for the Emigrants’ Council taken up in many parishes throughout the country around St Patrick’s Day.

John Bruton - The Christian Tradition in European Democracy

The theme for the 2024 Week of Prayer for Christian Unity (18 to 25 January – the octave of Saint Peter and Saint Paul) is from the parable of the Good Samaritan: ‘love the Lord your God… and your neighbour as yourself’ (Lk 10:27).

Each year a Week of Prayer theme comes from a specific area of the world. For 2024, the discussion by the Archbishops of Armagh is a response to calls from the Christian Churches in Burkina Faso to join with them in self-reflection and consideration of what it means to love our neighbour in the world today.

This year’s Week of Prayer for Christian Unity will take place from
