    Public Radio International recently profiled the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal’s apostolate in Moyross, a suburb of Limerick that is one of Ireland’ poorest communities. Unemployment in Moyross was as high as 84% in the 1980s.

    “We were shown this area Moyross, and it seemed like a perfect place: there were burnt-out houses, there was graffiti on walls there, dogs and horses wandering around aimlessly, sometimes kids wandering around,” said Brother Shawn O’Connor. “So I said this is a good place for us to be.”

    These guys are amazing! They are living their lives just as Christ did-in the midst of the harsh reality of life. I admire them immensely...
