A popular social justice campaigner is due to speak at a mass in Leitrim this weekend.
Father Peter McVerry will arrive at St Mary's Church in Killenummery tomorrow (Saturday December 2) to speak at 7.30am mass.
As a social activist, Peter is a strong advocate for those who have no voice in society.
He has written widely on issues relating to young homeless people such as accommodation, drugs, juvenile justice, the Gardaí, prisons and education.
His charity, the Peter McVerry Trust, progressed from a three-bedroom flat in Ballymun to become one of the country’s largest organisations responding to the issue of homelessness.
In 2022, the charity supported 12,000 individuals experiencing homelessness.
All are welcome to the mass!
