This Autumn there are a number of reasons for Rosies, and you, our extended family community to celebrate and to take pause. Firstly, it is the 200th anniversary of our founding Oblates of Mary Immaculate priests. Rosies and the Oblates both aspire to our patron saint, St Eugene de Mazenod’s charism, to support those most abandoned in our community. So please, celebrate with us on St Eugene’s feast day 21 May 2016.
During Easter, I would also like to invite you to take a moment of contemplative action. Think not only about your own family but of those within our extended community who may be less fortunate than us.
Is there someone experiencing difficulties, like those in the Roberts story in your extended family you can support with friendship this Easter?
I am grateful as always that our family of Rosies wonderful volunteers are out providing a sense of community and friendship to those in need like the Roberts family. I invite you to celebrate their passion, daring, loyalty, and community with us during National Volunteer Week 11-17 May 2016.
