Prayer-Friendship-Support-Service to the Community

In St Mary’s Church in Holyhead eight parishioners made their commitment as Friends of St Eugene.

11 am Mass on Sunday October 11th was a unique occasion in St Mary’s Church in Holyhead. It was during this Mass that eight parishioners made their commitment as Friends of St Eugene.  (Six others will make their commitment later in the year.)  Provincial of the Anglo-Irish Province Fr Ray Warren OMI and Fr Lorcan O’Reilly OMI Director of Partners in Mission, were the presiders.  Refreshments were served in the parish hall after the Mass to a large gathering of parishioners.

The FoSe have been meeting monthly for the past year and have deepened their knowledge and personal commitment to the charism of St Eugene through the Impassioned for Christ programme.  They have responded to the call wholeheartedly to live out the charism of St Eugene in their daily lives through prayer, friendship, support and service to the community. In addition to the monthly meeting the Friends have carried out their individual ministries in the parish and also been of service to the community through a variety activities during the year.
