MARY DAUGHTER OF ISRAEL: A Day of Reflection & Study, led by Dr. Eugene Curran C.M.
10.00 – 3.30 Sat 18th May. Bring a packed lunch!
Mary saw herself as a daughter of Abraham and Israel – a successor to the women of Scripture. The day will allow us to reflect on some of these women, their role in Mary’s formation as a woman of faith and our own sacred history.
Fr. Eugene is currently parish priest of Sacred Heart Church, Mill Hill, London and a member of the Congregation of the Mission (Vincentians) – part of their retreat and parish missions team.
He lectured for many years at All Hallows College, Dublin, and undertook doctoral studies in Chicago, in Adult Education and Faith Formation. He is “Dublin born and a Harry Potter fan”.
MAY, a month with Mary
Apart from the wonderful opportunity of the day with Dr Eugene, described above,
1) As usual, at Sunday masses during the month, we will say the “Hail Holy Queen” instead of the “Hail Mary” during our prayers of intercession.
2) We want to invite those who are not used to praying the rosary to try it out as a Way Into Prayer. Join us in Church at 5.30 each Saturday evening in May – or go it alone at home!
