Welcome
to the Lorica Trust website
The Lorica Trust was established when Father
Alan Sharpe let two people, homeless and hungry, spend
the night in the church one cold winter’s night
in 1985, he unknowingly set out on the work of a lifetime
for himself and his family. While Father Alan is no longer involved with the Trust, two family members continue to work as part of the team committed to helping those in need.
For more information on how the Lorica
Trust continues to grow and develop its work with the
poor, homeless and marginalised please visit our various
departments below. |
