St Joseph’s Marks 100 Years of Service and Support

June 3, 2024

100 Years of love and support

In 1924, St Joseph’s was founded by the Daughters of Charity of St Vincent de Paul in Rosewell near Edinburgh. Since 2015 it has become an independent charity and limited company with a dedicated team of over 250 people. St Joseph’s exists to support adults with a learning disability live independent lives as active citizens of their local community with choice and control over all aspects of their lives. 2024 marks the centenary of this special service with a year of celebrations – the three biggest of these being: A special Mass on 19th March, the Feast of St Joseph; a celebratory gathering for 300 people on 25th May at the 02 arena in Edinburgh which included a special centenary film, speeches, meal and dancing. Our photos show Sr Ellen, Provincial of the Daughters of Charity with Rob Jahoda CEO making a formal speech of recognition and thanks. There will also be a special Garden Fete on 27th July in the grounds of St Mathew’s RC Church, Rosewell.

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.
