MSC Irish Province – Missions Office, 60 years

This year, we’re celebrating the 60th anniversary of our MSC Missions Office on the Western Road, Cork. What better way to mark the occasion than by digging through the archives, and sharing stories?

Mission commitment today.

The Holy Family Care Centre is located in Ofcolaco, in the Limpopo Province of South Africa, and is run by the Daughters of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart with a dedicated team who provide residential care for up to 80 sick and vulnerable children. Many of these children are living with chronic illnesses such as HIV/AIDs, TB, and other critical conditions. Many of the children have lost their parents, and all are extremely vulnerable, so the Holy Family centre is a true home to them. Here in the Irish Province, our mission friends and extended Sacred Heart family are glad to be able to provide long-standing friendship and support to Sr Sally and the OLSH Sisters in Ofcolaco. (That is Australian Sr Sally Duigan who has served in South Africa for so many years.)

And remembering the Irish MSC presence in Venezuela in these turbulent times.
