Congratulation to all the boys and girls who received their First Holy Communion last Saturday.  Well done and congratulations to their families and teachers.  

 

St. Patrick’s Missionary Society, better known as the Kiltegan Fathers, was founded on St. Patrick’s Day 1932, by Fr. Patrick Whitney, a priest from the Diocese of Ardagh and Clonmacnois,. Since, then, Kiltegan priests, together with Volunteer priests and lay people from different Irish Diocese, including Cashel & Emly, have worked firstly in Nigeria, and later in Kenya, Central and South Africa, Brazil and West Indies.

 

Today, there are 223 Kiltegan priests of whom 40 are African.  We have 58 students in Africa preparing for the priesthood..  That seed sown by the Irish church has grown in surprising ways.

 

Through this visit we wish to recall how missionary work is central to our faith and thank you for your generous support in the past.  The Mission Appeal which Father Brendan Payne will coordinate asks for your continued support for the Society’s missionary works, through enrolling in our Mission Circle, subscribing to “Africia” magazine or supporting other initiatives.  This Appeal will take place in our parish on the weekend of May 13th./14th. 

 

I dream of a … a missionary impulse capable of transforming everything, so that the Church’s ways of doing things … can be suitably channeled for the evangelization of today’s word. – Pope Francis.
