Happy Christmas

Father, we are filled with the new light
by the coming of your Word among us.
May the light of faith shine in our words and actions.
Grant this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you
and the Holy Spirit, one God,
for ever and ever.

Amen.

Newly Professed Brothers with the Redemptorists

Congratulations to the two newly professed brothers with the Redemptorists! On Monday 15th of August, Br Michael and Br Royston made their first vows – to be Poor, Chaste and Obedient, after returning from their Noviciate in Canada. We wish them all the very best as they continue to follow the path the Lord has prepared for those who love him.

Ordination of Fr Thaddeus C. Ekuma, OCD

Congratulations to Fr Thaddeus, who was ordained a Priest in the Order of Discalded Carmelites on Sunday, the 14th of August. He celebrated this special day for the Carmelites and the parish, in their church, St. Simon Stock in Kensington, London. The celebration was doubly special because it was when we celebrated the Feast of the Assumption of Mary. Many people came along to support Fr Thaddeus and the community and joined them later in the parish hall. Here Fr Thaddeus is pictured with his mother, and their Carmelite Bishop who came over from Ireland for the occasion.
