Hi everyone!

Could you help me translate this prayer into Irish please?

Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place all my trust in Thee

So far the only suggestion I've had is A Chroí ró-Naofa Críost, ionatsa a chuirim m'iontaoibh but I don't know if that's correct.

I am from Northern Ireland but am sorry to say I don't speak a word of Irish :( but it's a beautiful language and it's never too late to learn right? ;)

Almost correct. 'Críost' (and it should be 'Chríost anyway) = 'Christ'. 'Jesus' is 'Íosa'.
The "official standard" spelling is now 'Rónaofa', but the two most famous dictionaries give 'Ró-Naofa', so take your pick.
I think that 'mo mhuinín' might be more common than 'm'iontaoibh' in Ulster Irish, but both are fine.

So: A Chroí Rónaofa/Ró-Naofa Íosa, ionatsa a chuirim mo mhuinín/m'iontaoibh

It's never too late. Go for it!

I'd use that too.
I've never heard "iontaoibh" before.

It is recommended that you always wait for three to agree on a translation.
I speak Connemara Irish, and my input will often reflect that.
I will do an mp3 file on request for short translations.
