A Particularly Special Occasion

This is our special opportunity to honour God our Father.  It has been the experience of those who have attended in recent years  celebrations in honour of God the Father, that these are particularly blessed occasion.  One really obtains a great sense of peace, and feels the presence and blessings of our heavenly Father.

    This is not surprising since it was God the Father himself who made a special and particular requests to a most holy and blessed religious sister, Mother Eugenia.  He said to her, “To be known, loved and honoured with a special devotion, I do not ask for anything extraordinary. I desire only this:

I desire that one day, or at least a Sunday, be dedicated to honouring Me in a special way under the title of Father of all Mankind.” 


    Sister Eugenia was a marvellous sister who discovered the cure of leprosy and established over seventy religious houses.  Cured by Our Lady who appeared to her at a young age,  

she remained uneducated.  Yet, at the young age of 25 she was elected as head of her Congregation. 

    Her Bishop Alexandre Caillot, Bishop of Grenoble in France, established a commission which put her under the most severe trials.  He conferred with other bishops and also with the Vatican.  At the end of ten years of thorough investigation  he concluded:  “I declare that Supernatural and Divine Intervention seems to me the only logical and satisfactory explanation of the Facts.” “After ten years of research, reflection and prayer, I bless the Father for having deigned to choose my diocese as the place for such touching manifestation of His love.”    

     God the Father said, “My dearest wish is that you behave as My children, simply and trusting in Me! ....My children! I know how to make Myself small, far smaller than you can imagine. However, what I do require is the faithful observance of the commandments I gave the Church, so that you will be rational creatures and will not be like animals because of your lack of discipline and your evil inclinations, so that you will preserve the treasure which is the soul I gave you, clothed in the fullness of its divine beauty!”  The day He requested was either the First Sunday of August or the 7th August.  This year the celebration will take place on Sunday 5th August.

Beautiful Books with the messages of God the Father and images will be distributed for Free for all who attend.

Please come on Sunday, 5th August and expect to receive great blessings.
