Fr. Michael Creech C.Ss.R.,

another diamond jubilarian shares

some of his story...

Sixty years seems, and is, a life-time ago when I joined the Redemptorist family. Even before entering the novitiate I already had a sense of belonging - daily contact in St Mary's Clapham in London with Bro Gerard the sacristan; Bro Joseph the porter at the monastery door, and regular meetings in the sacristy passing the time of day or chatting with members of the large community made up of new and old Redemptorists.

O.Ss.R., Solemn Profession Dublin

O.Ss.R., Solemn Profession in Dublin...

A most magnificent day it was in the Monastery of St Alphonsus when Sr Lucy professed her Solemn vows as a Redemptoristine Nun before a packed Church in the presence Sr Gabrielle Fox, Prioress who received her vows, her Community, Archbishop Diarmuid Martin, Chief Celebrant, Fr Damien McNiece, Master of Ceremonies, the Redemptorists, local clergy, her mother and family, friends, parishioners and the hundreds who watched on the Webcam from all over the world. It was truly an unforgettable celebration.
