September 30, 2024

A visit from the Superior General

 

On Sunday 29th September 2024, Fr Tomaž Mavrič CM, Superior General, blest the newly built presbytery (next door to the Sacred Heart Catholic Church, Flower Lane, Mill Hill NW7) which is home to a community of Vincentian priests – Fr Eugene PP, Fr Ray, Fr Ako, Fr John and Fr Francis. The opportunity was also taken to mark the 400th year of the Congregation of the Mission (founded in 1617 and confirmed in 1625), the 175th year of the Irish Province (erected in 1848), the centenary year of Mill Hill Parish (though the Vincentians have been here since 1889) and the 25th anniversary of the current church building. Whilst in Mill Hill, Fr Tomaž stayed with the Daughters of Charity and said Mass for the Sisters in their Provincial House.

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.
