Further - Wider

Dear Friends,
Many are still unaware of the painful truth surrounding the forgotten people of Barbados - a reality that only came to light for some during our recent book launches which highlighted just how little this story is known.
I truly believe this truth needs to be shared - face-to-face, to allow the stories to ripple outward. It’s all part of the healing journey, and the book holds an important key.
At the end of To Hell or Barbados, author Sean O’Callaghan issues a powerful plea to Ireland’s Catholic community:
"...to band together and do something for their long-forgotten brethren—the Red Legs of Barbados."
Let’s join in that cry. Let’s help this story reach further and wider.
Do you know anyone who might host a gathering? It needn’t be formal or elaborate - just a space where this story can be heard.
Perhaps you have contacts among Catholic charismatic groups - or even in book clubs, history circles, or community organisations. The story is universal and needs no specific audience.
Do you know anyone in Drogheda or Dublin who might be interested?
If so - please get in touch by emailing info@ariseministries.co.uk.
And if you'd like to explore the book before helping to share it, you can see all about it on the website here.
Blessings
Shirley
