The annual Crosscare Collection will take place at all Masses throughout the Archdiocese of Dublin this weekend, Saturday 20 and Sunday 21 September 2025. This collection replaces the usual Share collection.

Each year, the generosity of parishioners across Dublin enables Crosscare to continue its vital work with those who are most in need. The challenges remain pressing — a worsening housing crisis, the rising cost of living,  and growing food insecurity.

Thousands of people rely on Crosscare’s services: young people connected to our youth programmes, care leavers taking their first steps into independence, families navigating an overwhelming housing system, and individuals who simply need a hot meal, someone to listen, or a safe place to turn.

The annual collection provides Crosscare with the resources and flexibility to respond both to urgent emergencies and to new and emerging needs in our communities.

Those unable to contribute during Masses this weekend are invited to support the appeal online at www.crosscare.ie.

Your continued support makes a real difference to those most in need.
