Men’s Group Trip to the Gate Theatre

The Men’s Group visited the Gate Theatre for a tour of the venue.

In the Foyer Learning About Theatrical Elements

Our guide, Community Engagement Manager John Taite showed around and told us the history of the Theatre. We also heard about the programmes they run for youths and for the local community and schools, getting people to engage and rediscover going out to watch a play.

Hilton Edwards who along with Micheál MacLiammóir founded the Theatre in 1928.

We had a tour of backstage and the auditorium which laid in the more unusual Traverse style with the stage being in the centre and the audience on both sides, being able to see across the stage at each other.

Tesco Community Fund Donation

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.

To find out more about the campaign and how the Blue Tokens work, please visit:

SVP – Celebrating 180 Years in Ireland

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.

Find out more about Frederick Ozanam and the the SVP.

Looking Back at Last Year’s Ozanam Come Dancing (Part 2)

Read more thoughts from the rest of the dancers as they prepared for their performances.

White Lane Photography

Have you signed up for this year yet? Email niamh@ozanamhouse.ie or call (01) 874 2804 to find out more.

A sample of the thoughts:

Question 2:     What are you most nervous about on the night?

To be honest, tearing a hole in my fishnets. And Tiarnan dropping me!

(Ed: neither happened)

Question 3:     Do you have any funny stories from rehearsals so far?

Tiarnan calls me “Annette” when I get ratty with him. My alter ego, apparently.
