Sports Chaplaincy in Ireland 

What a privilege it is for Sports Chaplaincy Ireland to serve people in clubs and associations up and down the country! Every person is important and valuable – from the athlete, to the supporter, and every staff member, volunteer and helper in between. As a team of volunteer chaplains who are Followers of Jesus we love and care for people extravagantly in a way that does not have to fit a budget or particular outcome. And we offer encouragement , a confidential listening ear and pastoral and spiritual care to everyone out of a deep love and concern for the welfare of men and women and boys and girls across our island.
