Final Profession and Diaconate
For Redemptorists in Ireland the next two Sundays are significant days in the life of our Province because we are having the great joy of witnessing a young Redemptorist, Derek Ryan from Enfield, Co. Meath, making a definitive option for the Redemptorist way of life.

On Sunday 22 May Derek will make his Perpetual Profession as a Redemptorist.  This ceremony takes place at 11.00 o’clock Mass in our chapel at Marianella in Dublin.  We offer Derek our prayers and cordial good wishes on reaching this goal.
A week later (Sunday 29th May) Derek will take the next step along the path of his vocation when he is ordained a deacon by Archbishop Diarmuid Martin of Dublin in Maynooth College.
Then on 4th December 2011, D.V., he will be ordained a priest.
