Sr. Consilio Fitzgerald
Sr. Thomasina Finn of the Mercy Sisters Provincial Leadership Team in Naas said; “We heartily congratulate Sr. Consilio on gaining the Honorary MBE Award. Her sterling work as a Sister of Mercy is a source of inspiration and encouragement for all of us. We recognise also the detailed, day to day committment that has been required over many years to develop and deliver treatment programmes of the calibre being provided by Cuan Mhuire. May Sr. Consilio and all involved in Cuan Mhuire continue as their Mission Statement says:
To provide a context in which persons who feel rejected or dejected because of their addictions, ….. discover their uniqueness, giftedness and the real purpose in life.”
Cuan Mhuire is inspired by the belief “that every human being is made to the image and likeness of God, this means, that deep within each one, there are unlimited capacities for goodness, gentleness, kindness, generosity, endurance, happiness, joy, peace, love and truth”.
In 2010 Cuan Mhuire won the prestigious CHKS Quality Improvement Award which was presented at the Royal Institute of British Architects, London.
