At this year’s Urlaur Pattern Mass we included a “Ceremony of Naming and Remembering” men and women of the parish who had entered religious life.  We included Diocesan Priests as well as Religious.  For some weeks we had sought from parishioners names of relatives, neighbours and friends who they knew who had become priests, brothers or sisters.  We received in excess of 100 names.  Though it’s certain there are others whose names we did not receive we were proud to be able to name and remember so many from our Parish who sought to answer God’s call.  It is possible that not all of these remained in religious life but the truth of their “Yes” is what we sought to recall in Urlaur.  It was a very moving and special moment in the tradition that is The Urlaur Pattern.  Some people have requested this list be made available.  We are happy to include it here.  If you know of other names that should be included, please let us know and we will, in time, update this record.
