Hostel - Caritas

Caritas    is part of the motto of the Sisters of Charity, “Caritas Christi Urget Nos? which may be translated: “The love of Christ is the motivating force in our lives?(2 Corinthians 5:14).  The motto came from the text of the sermon preached by Father Peter Kenny, S.J., at a public Clothing Ceremony in Dublin in the early days of the Congregation.  In his sermon, Father Kenny developed the meaning of the text to explain the aim and scope of the Congregation. Caritas has 30 Commonwealth funded apartments.
