On 29th November, The Foundation Day of the Daughters of Charity, approximately 35 sisters gathered at St. Catherine’s Chapel, in Sydney, for a Mass of Thanksgiving for Fr. Kevin Canty CM and all he has done and been for us during his time as Father Director of our Province.  At the end of the Mass, Fr. Kevin installed Fr. Tim Williams CM as our Provincial Director for the next 6 years, by reading the Patent from Fr. Gregory Gay CM, Superior General.  As a symbol of thanks and appreciation to Fr. Kevin, he was given a subscription for the ABC Symphony Concert in 2012 and presented with a beautiful sculpture of Vincent with a child standing at his feet and a Daughter of Charity standing holding a book representing our constitutions.  This was mounted on a wooden stand, and a plaque attached carried the words, “In thanksgiving for Fr. Kevin Canty Provincial Director 2001-2011.  The sculpture was made by Sr. Carole Jones DC.  The Mass of Thanksgiving was followed by an afternoon tea at Elizabeth House.  For more photos, click Mass of Installation and Thanksgiving
