Over the weekend, Fr Oliver Barry OMI, our outgoing Provincial, Fr Lorcán O’Reilly OMI, our incoming Provincial and Fr Irvin Morastil OMI met with members of the Oblate General Administration in Rome. During their visit they, together with Fr Andrew Small OMI, were greeted by Pope Francis.
During the last three years Fr Andrew has served as secretary to the Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors. The work of safeguarding is a very important part of the Church’s life and ministry, and as he completes his ministry there we express our appreciation of Fr. Andrew’s work in this area at the level of the global Church.
