School children happy to receive “Miraculous” Medal

February 6, 2023

On 28th November 2022, Sisters Eileen and Maureen from the Daughter of Charity community living in St Vincent’s Centre in Carlisle Place, joined the children at the nearby St Vincent’s RC Primary School for their school assembly. It was a special assembly during which the children learnt about St Catherine Laboure and how in 1830 Mary, (the Mother of Jesus), had appeared to her when she was a Seminary Sister (novice) in the Mother House of the Daughters of Charity in Paris. Mary asked the young Sr Catherine to have medal struck and since that time millions of people worldwide have worn the medal and prayed for help, support and healing. After the assembly Fr Vincent, from Westminster Cathedral, blessed the medals which were then distributed by the Sisters. See the images below of the distribution and conferring of the medal.

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.
