Bishops of Cork bless S.H.A.R.E. Crib
The S.H.A.R.E. Cork collection was inaugurated for the 55th year on Friday, 13th December 2024, by the Lord Mayor of Cork, Cllr Dan Boyle, and the S.H.A.R.E. Crib on St Patrick’s Street, Cork was blessed by the two bishops: Dr Paul Colton and Dr Fintan Gavin.
Almost 2,000 students will take part at some stage in this year’s S.H.A.R.E. collection in aid of older people. The collection continues throughout the streets of the city until Christmas Eve, with many of the 5th year students fasting during that time also.
S.HA.R.E. stands for Students Harness Aid for the Relief of the Elderly, and it has 140 housing units for older people throughout Cork City and also a wide range of support services for older people.
