MAKING A DIFFERENCE

IN THE LIVES OF OTHERS

Your prayers are asked for Brendan Coleman RIP, the brother of Sister Damian, who died on 1 January. Brendan, who had been ill for some time, is now at peace, and our thoughts and prayers are with Damian and the family at this difficult time.

Maire Murphy at Christmas, in

Catherine MacAuley‘s home,

with her brother Joe, Miriam

Gabriel and Máire.

In Ireland long ago 6 January used to be known as Little Christmas Day or the Women’s Christmas. So greetings to all of us!

A little bit of English Christian history; did you know Halifax, as pronounced in England long ago, means Holy Face? On the old gates of Halifax’s famous Piece Hall you can still see the face of Jesus.

Once again Pat and I went to support CAFOD in their yearly walk for those who need support overseas - those in need of water, food and medical help. The event was very well supported and it was good to see so many young people involved in helping others.

This year we had to wear vests. All to do with health and safety!

their tasks, but one day in the year they let their hair down and treat us to a rendition of

Thanks dear Staff for the fun! - Eily May

I should be grateful if those Sisters who keep the HOUSE RECORDS in each community of St

Paul's Province would send me, as soon as possible and no later than 21 January, their annual

report on matters of historical importance for the Provincial Archives.

UNDER BY MMJ CAUSE REMIT, I should also be grateful if, DURING 2020, she and every Sister

who can, will keep a special account, and send to me, for the ARCHIVES PERTAINING TO

MOTHER MARY JOSEPH'S CAUSE, of any signs of devotion to Mother Mary Joseph (Elizabeth

Prout) amongst the people they meet; any favours received thanks to her intercession; and, of

course, ANY MIRACLES.

The information on MIRACLES must be well-authenticated, detailed and, if possible, supported

by witnesses.

I shall pass on the information to the Vice-Postulator CP and, if he supports it, he will forward it

to the Postulator General.

Many thanks, Sister Dominic Savio CP

PTO for further info….
