‘Our Sister Helena’ – one of our very own from St. Brigid’s Parish in DRUM, Ireland.

On Saturday 31st October 2014 at 6pm Mass, Sister Helena McEvilly returned to her home parish of St Brigid’s Church Drum in the Diocese of Elphin to celebrate with the community her Silver Jubilee of Religious Profession.  The people of the parish have showed continuous concern and support for Helena throughout her vocation, they speak affectionately of ‘our Sister Helena’.

During her 17 years in Nigeria they showed true Christian charity and support for her various ministries there. The present Priest assigned to St Brigid’s Church is her first cousin, Fr. Michael Mc Manus.

The occasion was truly one of thanksgiving and joy with FMDM sisters, Sister Helena’s family and the parish.
