Pilgrimage to the Foot of the Altar

December 14, 2022

From 12-15th December 2022, after a three year wait because of COVID, six Daughters of Charity from the Province of Rosalie Rendu responded to an inner call to put aside their daily routine and journey to the foot of the altar in the Mother House, Paris. It was here in 1830 that Mary, the Mother of God made her presence known to St Catherine Laboure. Representing the Province, at the foot of the altar, our six Sisters placed the cares and concerns of our troubled world , our province and the needs of those who have asked for prayers before the Mother of God. Back home each Sister was given a liturgy booklet so that we could join in the pilgrimage each day with specially prepared morning and evening prayers. A special highlight of the pilgrimage was a visit to the grave of Blessed Rosalie Rendu in Montparnasse Cemetery where flowers were placed representing each Daughter of Charity local community in Great Britain and Australia belonging to the Province.

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.
