Vincentian Family Mass at Carfin

Saturday 23rd September 2023 was a special day for the Vincentian Family in Scotland as “Vincentians” gathered in Scotland’s National Marian Shrine to pre-empt the celebration of the Feast of St Vincent de Paul (which the worldwide Catholic Church celebrates on 27th September.)

The celebrant and homilist was Fr Eugene Curran CM who is parish priest of the Sacred Heart Church in Mill Hill, London NW7. Many Vincentian branches, organisations, projects and services were represented: To name but a few – The Society of St Vincent de Paul, St Joseph’s Service, Rosewell, the Daughters of Charity, the Listening Heart, the AIC, the Deaf Choir, SPRED and the Louise Project. It was a wonderful, joy-filled gathering of identity, belonging and service.
