The Parnell Street Branch of Tesco Ireland, under their Community Fund scheme, has again very kindly donated the sum of €1,1340 to us at Ozanam House.
We are grateful for the kindness they have shown over many years and wish to thank them for their continued generosity.
The Tesco Community Fund was launched in July 2014, to support local good causes in the communities around each of our 176 stores throughout Ireland. Every 12 weeks, each Tesco store donates up to €2,000 between three local good causes in its community.
Ozanam House as part of the Saint Vincent de Paul are delighted to celebrate our 180th anniversary.
In 1844, the first SVP Conference, St Michan’s, was established in Dublin and since then, has spread through every one of the 32 counties meeting the needs of those everywhere who seek our help.
Throughout every period of change our members have been a bedrock of support for hundreds of thousands of Irish people. Our 180th anniversary Members Day on 20th April in the Dublin Convention Centre will be an opportunity to celebrate our history in Ireland but also to use the occasion to reflect and renew our commitment as we face into another period of societal change.
Blessed Frederick Ozanam
Blessed Frederick Ozanam
We take our inspiration from Blessed Frederick Ozanam, one of our principal founders. As a young university student in Paris in 1833, he and six companions set up a ‘Conference of Charity’ visiting poor people, bringing food, clothing, and friendship. They adopted St Vincent de Paul as their patron.
The ARG group went to Bewley’s Café Theatre to see The Rising of the Moon a play by Lady Gregory. The staff in Bewley’s were very welcoming as was the staff in the Theatre. The lunchtime show was a short show of 30 minutes leaving plenty of time for anyone to watch it during their lunch break.
The actors were very good and there was a good suspensive atmosphere created whilst the officers were on the lookout for a dangerous criminal.
There was plenty of tables and chairs for everyone to sit at and you could buy some soup and brown bread whilst the show was on. The Theatre itself was fully accessible by lift and had full access to accessible bathrooms
Mansion House Outing
The ARG group went to the Mansion Housefor an exhibition and discussion on Accessibility. The exhibition was called Access to the Public Realm in Picture.
The discussion was supported by The Lord Mayor of Dublin Daithi de Roiste, Cllr Declan Meenagh and Mick Keegan a member of the Disability Thematic Group.
A very informative presentation was provided and at the end of the presentation there was time for questions and answers.
The group were also invited to participate in some tea/coffee and some croissants.
