Ms Marian Butler, Religious Education Coordinator Marist College, Penshurst, NSW Lavalla 3 VIEWPOINT Vocation – A Perfect Mess I like being tidy. It creates well-organised classrooms, neat dorms and a sense of order in the chaotic lives of the young people. However, extreme orderliness can be a compulsion and have drawbacks, one being the loss of creativity. Those messy desks, noticeboards, relationships are more conducive to making the random connection that could lead to discoveries, solutions and even discovering one’s vocation.

  • Nano Nagle and the International Presentation Association
    Nano Nagle and the International Presentation Association A reflection on the IPA story Kathleen Tynan, PBVM In a letter dated 17 July, 1769, Nano Nagle wrote, “For I can assure you my schools are beginning to be of service to a great many parts of the world – this [Cork] is a place of such trade ... If I could be of any service in saving souls in any part of the globe I would willingly do all in my power.” Nano’s contemplative spirit gave her a vision that extended beyond the winding lanes of Cork to encompass gospel service that was global. The seeds of the International Presentation Association are in this vision. The International Presentation Association story began in 1981 during an international meetings of congregation leaders in Rome. Several Presentation leaders were present. In breaks between sessions they met informally in a room in the Ergife Hotel. Nano’s words, “there is no greater happiness than to be in union,” resonated within the group and a desire to be more closely connected was born. There is no greater happiness than to be in union In 1984, the Australian Society hosted a national gathering to mark the 200th anniversary of Nano’s death. The Society leadership at the time included sisters who had been present in 1981. Invitations were extended to Presentation leaders from across the globe. A national gathering of 280 sisters from Society became international when seven leaders from the Conference and seven leaders from the Union attended. This experience convinced sisters that more could be done together than alone.

  • The Life of Mary Aikenhead Part 2879.06 KB
    A short synopsis of the life of Mother Mary Aikenhead Part Two Mary begins to focus on religious life Mary began to think seriously of devoting her life full-time and as a religious to helping the poor in their homes but for the present she felt obliged to help her ailing mother in the management of the household. The Ursuline and Presentation Sisters, whose convents were nearby, were bound to enclosure. Even in the whole of Ireland at this period there was no convent that allowed its members to move outside the enclosure. When Mary discussed this with Cecilia Lynch, Cecilia informed her that she herself was joining the Poor Clares in Harold’s Cross, Dublin. An unexpected, life-changing meeting Then on 30 November 1807, when Mary was 20 years of age, a providential meeting took place at the Ursuline convent in Cork. Mary met Anna Maria Ball of Dublin, a wealthy woman in her own right who was married to a rich Dublin merchant, John O’Brien. She had come to Cork for the religious profession of her sister, Cecilia. Accompanying her was another sister, Frances or Fanny, the future founder of the Loretto sisters. Mary Aikenhead found that she had met a kindred spirit in Anna Maria. Mary already knew from her friend, Cecilia Lynch that Anna Maria devoted a great deal of her time in Dublin to the care of the poor and afflicted. Before leaving Cork, Mrs. O’Brien invited Mary to spend some time with her in Dublin. The invitation was gladly accepted.
