The Passionists: Holy Spirit Province

Please pray for Fr. Aidan O' Kane CP ~

A Passionist priest has suffered a serious spinal injury after an accident while on pilgrimage in Medjugorje.

Fr Aidan O’Kane, who is originally from the Glens of Antrim, is now recovering after undergoing surgery.

It is understood that the Passionist priest fell while visiting the Bosnian pilgrimage site.

Fellow Passionist priest Fr Gary Donegan has asked people to keep Fr O’Kane in their prayers as he recovers from the serious injury.

Writing on Facebook, Fr Donegan said it remains unclear how successful the surgery has been.

He said: “Please keep my Brother Passionist Priest Fr Aidan O'Kane CP in your prayers. Aidan had an unfortunate accident and received a serious spinal injury and is now in recovery following surgery.”

“It remains to be seen how successful his surgery was; we can but pray. The cruel irony is he was convalescing from surgery as a result of a separate illness.”

Fr O’Kane was a late vocation to the Passionists and has held a number of roles within the order.

He previously served as Vicar and Bursar at Tobar Mhuire, as Assistant Director of Formation of Passionist students and was involved in the management of the Houben Centre in Ardoyne.

❤️ HELP BUILD A NEW HOME FOR CHILDREN WITH DISABILITY

For more than 40 years, the Senta Bilong Helpim (Centre of Help) in Vanimo, Papua New Guinea, has been a place of care, dignity, friendship and hope for children and young adults living with disability and their families.

Today, the Senta needs a new home. The existing centre is no longer safe or fit for purpose, and the ministry has been interrupted.

A new site has been provided by the Diocese of Vanimo, and plans are ready for a new centre where children can receive therapy, families can find support, and young people with disability can develop skills and opportunities for the future.

🏫 The project will cost $600,000.
❤️ $300,000 has already been secured.
🙏 Now we need to raise the remaining $300,000.

This is more than a building project. It is about saying to a child and their family:
You matter.
You belong.
You will not be forgotten.

Would you help us build the new Senta Bilong Helpim?

You can donate, or simply share this campaign with your family, friends, parish, school or community. Every bit helps and all donations are tax deductible.

$300,000 raised. $300,000 to go!

Together, we can give the Senta a new home and its families renewed hope✨

Here's a bit of a look at how our Assembly last week in Việt Nam went! An exciting and hope-filled journey towards the Chapter in 2027 has begun. Assembly 2 starts tomorrow in Melbourne.

04/09/2026

Preparations for the Holy Spirit Province Chapter (2027) are officially underway, with the theme, "Towards New Horizons." The first of two Assemblies took place in our community of St Paul's in Hồ Chí Minh, Việt Nam. It was an experience of unity and dialogue, exploring both the challenges, but also opportunities that exist in our province's current reality, and how we would like to plan for the coming 5 years. Next week will be the second Assembly in Melbourne, Australia!
