Father Paschal Scallon CM
Father Paschal is Irish and a member of the Vincentian Community, the Congregation of the Mission. He was ordained in 1991 having attended a school run by the Vincentians in Dublin. He is currently serving as the Provincial of the Vincentian Community in Ireland and Britain.
In his ministry, Father Paschal has worked at different times as a teacher and as a pastor in a college and parish in which the Vincentians have served for almost 200 years. Father Paschal has also served on the Vincentian parish mission team, whose ministry reaches back to the origins of St Vincent’s community 400 years ago, when St Vincent De Paul himself, with others – men and women – set out to preach the Gospel and address the needs of people in poverty in rural France at a time when that country was stricken by war and the neglect that inevitably comes with it. He has served in Vincentian communities in Dublin and Belfast.
Over the years, Father Paschal has completed further studies in ecumenism, the study of inter-faith and inter-church relations, and in pastoral theology and has contributed to various publications including co-editing a book called A Church with a Future.
At present he is involved in the animation and administration of the Province of Ireland of the Vincentian Community but hopes, on completing his term as Provincial, to return to parish missions, a ministry he believes still has much to offer in the encouragement of parish communities so that they themselves can become the inspired animators of the faith to whom others around them will respond. https://vincentians.ie/
