We are delighted to introduce a special collection of resources to help you celebrate the De Mazenod Family Feast Day on December 3rd. This significant date marks not only the feast day of our De Mazenod Family but also the anniversary of the canonization of our beloved founder, St. Eugene de Mazenod, in 1995.
St. Eugene’s canonization reminds us of his unwavering commitment to God’s mission: to preach the Gospel to the poor and most abandoned. His life continues to inspire countless individuals and communities to live as Pilgrims of Hope, journeying together in faith, service, and solidarity.
o deepen your experience of this special day, we’ve created a variety of resources for use in parishes, schools, and family gatherings, including Scripture passages, video reflections, prayers, a word scramble & find-a-word, some French recipes and a game.
We encourage everyone to check out and use these resources to celebrate as one De Mazenod Family. Whether you’re gathering with others in your ministries, doing something at home with the family, or taking some alone time to reflect, use this opportunity to reflect on the charism of St Eugene and renew our commitment to the mission.
Together, let’s continue to be Pilgrims of Hope, inspired by the example of St Eugene and our fellow members of the De Mazenod Family.
