Mums the Word

Congratulations to the four seminarians from Liverpool celebrating their Ordination to the Diaconate. We are very proud of you all. As documented in last month’s Pic, Hugh Donleavy was the first to be ordained on 26 May, followed by Peter Ross, James Finnegan and Martin Fyles in July Our prayers for vocations to the priesthood seem to be working. Best wishes to them and their families.

At St Margaret Mary’s foundation, they are feeling very proud of one of their members, Marian Begley. For the last 25 years Marian has volunteered for numerous charities, including working with the sick at Lourdes each year. She was nominated for an Irish in Britain Volunteer award – and finished as a runner-up in the Outstanding Individual Volunteer category. At the awards ceremony at the Irish Cultural Centre in Hammersmith, she was given a trophy and a certificate that she said she would treasure.
