New Provincial Leader for Daughters of Charity in Britain
... a new
Provincial Leader, a new Provincial House, a new chapter in our
history...
At present, there are 191 Sisters throughout England, Scotland and Wales living in
The highlight of the event was the Eucharist concelebrated by Fr
Fergus Kelly CM, Fr Philip Walsh CM and Fr Hugh McMahon CM in the
the Mother-House in Rue du Bac, Paris
In his homily, Fr Fergus Kelly urged the Sisters to pray every single day for Sister Marie, as she travels along this new path opening up before her. In his word portraits of contrasting scenes and realities, he made it clear how much prayer is needed, especially for Christians today. Against the background of persecution and repression, there is also the reality of unselfishness and kindness. These are opportunities to recall St Vincent de Paul's words: "Kindness is the key to hearts". As a final word, Fr Fergus reminded Sister Marie, and all, that this new call she has received comes from the loving Providence of God.
After the Eucharistic celebration, all made their way to the Provincial House for a meal and the opportunity to meet and enjoy being together for a few hours. All too soon, those who had travelled long distances had to begin their homeward journeys, full of the joys of having shared in this important step in the life of the Province.
