Successor of St Louise visits GB

September 28, 2023

7-12 September 2023 there was great joy in the Province of Rosalie Rendu, as we welcomed Sr Francoise Petit (Superioress General) and Sr Julie Kubasak (General Councillor) from our Mother House in Paris. They physically met with us in five GB locations: Glasgow, Liverpool, Southport, London and Brentwood – as well as virtually via Zoom in Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide, Australia.

Besides visiting the Sisters, sharing meals and praying with us – Sisters Francoise and Julie managed to see something of several of the ministries in which we serve, engaging with the people there. These ministries included, the Space and the Listening Heart projects in Glasgow; the residents of Christopher Grange in Liverpool, and the residents of the Marillac Neurological Care Centre in Warley, Brentwood.

Sr Francoise is the elected successor of our foundress, St Louise de Marillac, and – with her General Councillors -she is in constant contact and communication with our Sisters across the five continents in the 97 countries in which they live and serve. She is the figure who unites, encourages, supports and challenges us to live our vocation well in these times of so much need and poverty.

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.
