Freedom For All Ireland Christmas AppealThe FFAI Christmas Appeal is the one way that we as Hibernians can directly impact those that live in the six counties of Northern Ireland. The funds raised go towards programs that help the communities in Northern Ireland focus on building a new future of peace and community. These programs are making a difference in a very difficult economic and political climate by fostering peace and justice, and providing services and support to Irish language and dance programs, youth groups, and families.
Ladies, your generous support in the past has solidified our commitment to the people of Northern Ireland and sent them a very clear message that they are not forgotten. I have met many of them and they are truly touched by your generosity and support of this program which has made a huge difference in the quality of their lives. Thank you for your generous support. Wishing you a Joyous Christmas Season! In our Motto, Dolores Desch LAOH NYS FFAI Chair

Presentation sent to us by Fr. Gary Donegan, CP, Ardoyne, Belfast.
The slideshow depicted the pain and the progress, the anguish and the hope that has been the story in Ardoyne and across the North for decades. While there is peace, there is still so much to overcome regarding equality, employment, justice and poverty. |
