Feast of the Visitation

On the Feast of the Visitation, 2023

We join Mary and Elizabeth in proclaiming the greatness of God , the becoming of all creation, the deepening consciousness that is being born on earth, the evolving awareness that God is with us and in us.

This inspiring reflection offered by by Alstonville Anglicans begins with the question:

What if the Incarnation could also be the fulfilment of human history and the final goal of evolution?

Learning about Our Mercy History

Recently all Year 9 students at Carmel College in Auckland, New Zealand, participated in two days focusing on the story of Mercy: the beginnings of Mercy in Ireland, the arrival of the Sisters of Mercy to New Zealand from Carlow, and the stories associated with the Carmel College site.

Sr Mary Neven (pictured with students) donned a habit to take on the persona of Mother Cecilia Maher, and joined a staff member who played the role of Bishop Pompallier as they shared with students the challenges of the long boat journey from Carlow, Ireland, to Auckland, New Zealand in 1850.
