Our Life in Community

Everyone in the community has their own talents and each of us gives the total gift of ourselves in what we do here in Mullingar.

We work each day in St. Francis Health Village doing various services.We cherish the elderly residents and love helping out in our Nursing Home.

Some of our community assist in clerical duties while others help in surgery departments and medical wards.

We reach out to the wider community through the various religious services held in the hospital chapel. We also share the Mass with the patients in the hospital through hospital television. Those patients who are unable to attend the chapel can receive communion daily.

Our love for one another unites us and becomes the force which sustains us in our mission to serve the Church and the world.

We seek to create an atmosphere of kindness and goodness which makes it easier to accept each other.

We do our best to accept each other's uniqueness and our life in community is built from day to day:

By trusting each other equally. There is no one here who trusts one more than another; we trust each other as we trust ourselves.

By sharing our life, in our daily prayer, our goods, and our gifts/talents with each other, our lay associate members and friends.

By seeking God's will together in meeting each other and listening to what each other has to say.

By participating in the Eucharist, which is the source and bond of our unity.

By helping each other in our duties, regardless of what we do, or what position  we hold.
