Blue & White Support Group
The Blue and White Support Group continues to strive to reach out to Rock men going through a difficult period in their lives by providing support, guidance, and friendship. The needs of those seeking assistance ranges from moral support to practical support and from financial planning to financial assistance. Sometimes a non-judgmental conversation is enough to see the trees from the wood! To make contact with the Blue and White Support group please contact the office confidentially at unionoffice@rock.ie and we will arrange for you to be called back by a member of the support group.
The Mission Fund
The Mission Fund was established by the Union to provide financial support to the Spiritans' missionary work. The Spiritans (Holy Ghost Fathers) provide direct assistance to the world's poorest regions, where the level of poverty and living conditions is often unimaginable. Although our financial assistance will never compare to the sacrifice of the Spiritans, who have dedicated their lives to such work, it does nonetheless make a very real impact as all money raised goes directly to specific cases or projects. Monies received are applied mainly to educational projects in African missions and other regions.
