WEAVING THE THREADS OF VISION

June 30, 2024

Affiliates Meeting in Provincial House

The weekend 29-30th June 2024 saw a special gathering of affiliates and Daughters of Charity at our Provincial House in Mill Hill. We came together to share our story and achieve the following aims:


·       To get to know each other better

·       To meet as a group and on a personal level

·       To share our stories – personal, province and Vincentian Charism

·       To pray together and share Eucharist

·       To enjoy quiet time for reflection

·       To weave the threads of vision for a collaborative way forward.



We were blessed by glorious weather as we came together in a variety of sharing settings – inputs, group work, prayer and reflection, meals, coffee breaks, socialising, walks and even a visit to our cemetery to visit the graves of Sisters, we have all known and loved. Sunday morning, we began to create a vision for affiliation and what might make for meaningful, practical next steps. We did this through a “Weaving Session”. Everyone left with joyful hearts and plans to meet again.

Inauguration of Fr Eugene Curran C.M. as Provincial Director

By Rita Quinn • October 6, 2025
Sister Theresa Tighe D.C. (Provincial) welcomed Fr Eugene - "It is with deep joy and heartfelt gratitude that we welcome Fr Eugene, our Vincentian brother, as Provincial Director of our province of Blessed Rosalie Rendu." Theresa went on to say that Eugene's previous ministries have shaped him into a compassionate listener, a thoughtful guide, and a faithful companion on our journey of discernment. As we prepare for our upcoming assemblies under the theme 'Artisans of hope and peace,' Fr Eugene's presence is a sign of God's providence. His accompaniment will help us shape a future that is faithful to our charism and responsive to the needs of those we serve - our own sisters, the poor, the forgotten and all whose lives touch ours in any way. In his homily, Fr Eugene emphasised the notion of accompaniment, walking with people as they discover for themselves the freedom that is theirs as beloved children of God. It is up to us to do what God asks of us in good times and not so good times. He emphasized that we are not in control but God is in control and his grace and mercy extends to all of us.
