🔵 We were so saddened to hear this morning of the passing of Sister Stanislaus Kennedy. We will forever be inspired by her tenacity, dedication, courage and determination to speak up for those with the weakest voices in society - In her memory lets never give up doing what is right and just for all.

🩵 Yesterday was such a beautiful day for our hundreds of Sanctuary Runners who took part in the Cork City Marathon. Incredible support and solidarity along the way.
💔 But the sadness felt by all on hearing of the death of one of the participants, a young woman, was just overwhelming. So tragic.
