SYDNEY, June 8, 2003 (catholicweekly.com.au): Bl Frederic Ozanam’s great mission was and is the spirit of a great apostle, says Bishop Patrick Dougherty, Bishop of Bathurst. Tim Williams CM in Australia cites an article in the Catholic Weekly ….Frederic’s ways, encouraging people “to use one’s every talent and gift”, were at the heart of the Bl Frederic Ozanam Institute of Spirituality at Lewisham, he said.
The bishop was delivering his homily at a Mass to launch the institute, which, he said, “highlights the value of spiritual teaching in gaining motivation and purpose in our work with the poor”. …….
The Ozanam Institute is a facility that supports learning and adult faith formation within the Vincentian tradition. It offers selected courses in Scripture, correspondence programs based on the lives of St Vincent de Paul and Bl Frederic, and retreat packages. etc
