  • Keep in Touch
    The Sisters of Charity of Australia Keep in Touch December 2010 A newsletter for Sisters of Charity, their families and friends, and supporters of our Congregation Volume 10 Number 3 VOLUNTEERS AT ST AMBROSE (VASA) 30 YEARS ANNIVERSARY A 30 year Anniversary Mass was held at St Ambrose Parish, Concord West on 23rd October. Parishioners were pleased to welcome Sister Annette Cunliffe, the Congregational Leader of the Sisters of Charity, as well as Srs Mark Lehmann and Margaret Scully who were the inspiration for the original group of volunteers in 1980. In December 1980, the Sisters of Charity withdrew from teaching at St Ambrose School. However, the Parish felt it was important to continue the pastoral works of the Sisters. There was already a group of volunteers based at Paddington under the leadership of Sister Mark Lehmann. This group “Volunteer Associates of the Sisters of Charity of Australia”, or VASCA for short, supported the work of the Sisters of Charity in the inner-city area. At a Parish meeting Volunteers renew their commitment at the Anniversary Mass held in December 1980, it was decided to start a which Srs Annette, Mark & Margaret attended. branch of VASCA here in Concord West with Sister Margaret Scully as Director. The focus of VASCA was, and still is, to serve any person in need, bringing to each person the love, tenderness and concern of Christ, and seeing Christ in everyone they serve. “Get togethers” in the Parish Hall were organised for the elderly in the area, volunteers provided transport and everyone enjoyed the entertainment and afternoon tea.

Recognising the many methodologies that make up historical research, the series presents innovative and interdisciplinary work that is conceptual and interpretative, and expands and challenges the common understandings of the Irish past. It showcases new and exciting scholarship on subjects such as the history of gender, power, class, the body, landscape, memory and social and cultural change. It also reflects the diversity of Irish historical writing, since it includes titles that are empirically sophisticated together with conceptually driven synoptic studies. 1.

  • A Short Synopsis of the Life of Mother Mary Aikenhead
    A short synopsis of the life of Mother Mary Aikenhead Part One A short synopsis of the life of Mother Mary Aikenhead Mary’s grandfather comes to live in Cork Sarah Atkinson tells us in her book, “Mary Aikenhead: Her Life, Her Work and Her Friends” which was published in 1882 that Mary’s grandfather David, a Scottish gentleman, relinquished his military profession, married a Limerick lady, Miss Anne Wight and settled in Cork. David died early leaving two children, a daughter Anne, who afterwards married Dr. Galway of Cork and settled in Mallow and a son David who having studied medicine, established himself as a practising physician and chemist in Cork. David Aikenhead’s marriage The young David like his father, was a member of the Established Church of the time. We would call it the Protestant Church, the Church of Ireland or the Anglican Church. In due course David married Mary Stacpole, the eldest daughter of a Cork merchant whose family were staunch Catholics with strong national leanings. They were married on 22nd October, 1785 in a Cork church with a double-barrel name, Holy Trinity/Christchurch, situated in South Main St. In modern times that church became the keeper of the archives of Cork and in April 2011 it was opened as a concert hall under the title, Triskel/Christchurch, Triskel being the name of a small theatre next door. Birth of Mary Aikenhead The Penal Laws introduced in 1695 forbade a Protestant marry a Catholic under penalty of losing his inheritance and his business and to borrow a phrase from a prominent politician of today, those laws had “not gone away you know” by 1785 but they had become partially relaxed and David Aikenhead suffered no penalty.

    LAUNCH of CATHOLIC SCHOOLS WEEK JANUARY 26, 2009 EMMAUS RETREAT CENTRE, SWORDS, CO DUBLIN Your Excellency, Your Grace, distinguished guests and friends I am very happy to welcome you to the launch of Catholic Schools Week today. Bishop O’Reilly has spoken about the purpose of the week and the theme to be explored in schools and parishes throughout Ireland. I would like to say a few words about the opportunity the week presents to us as we take note of the excellent resources prepared by the Steering Committee of this initiative and their two collaborators, Maeve Mahon and Tonya Hanly. Their material invites us to explore some of the many strands in the rich tapestry of our Catholic educational heritage. By the end of the week we will have travelled back to 6 th century Ireland, to the era of St Brigid, evoking the Golden Age of Irish monasteries, those centres of Christian Learning attracting students from foreign lands. Earlier in the week we will celebrate the lives and achievements in education of three other highly influential educators, Sts Angela Merici, foundress of the Ursulines, a pioneer in the provision of educational opportunity for women, St |Thomas Aquinas, the Dominican theologian, the searcher for truth, who is honoured as patron of Universities, schools and students and St John Bosco, patron saint of youth and founder of the Salesians whose lives are dedicated to the education and training of young people. These saints were creative visionaries in their own time but eminently practical. Inspired by the life and teachings of Jesus Christ, they integrated growth in spirituality (relationship with God) with excellence in teaching and learning in their schools.
