Priests urge faithful to give blood in spirit of Holy Week

In a campaign dubbed “Flesh and Blood”, priests and pastors from a variety of denominations are urging their congregations to get in the spirit of Easter Week and donate blood as part of the Christian tradition of giving.
Pastor Paul Carley of Celbridge Christian Independent Penetcostal Church said that, instead of taking up the weekly offering last Sunday, he encouraged his congregation to give blood.
