Dana Rosemary Scallan Invested as a Dame of the Order of St Gregory the Great
On May 9th, the celebration of the Eucharist in the Church of the Assumption and St James, Claregalway, Bishop Michael Duignan invested Ms Dana Rosemary Scallon as a Dame of the Order of Saint Gregory the Great. This Papal honour is bestowed by the Holy Father on those who have excelled in giving of themselves in the service of the Church community.
During the ceremony Bishop Michael noted how “it is evident to everyone who knows Dana how much her faith means to her. It is both the rock on which her life is built and has been her guiding star on the journey of life. Over the years her service to the church and civil society has been immense. Her commitment to the values of the Gospel has always shone through and her witness to the richness of the faith has been constant. Tonight I congratulate her on receiving this very special honour and I pray God’s continued blessings on Dame Dana Rosemary Scallan, on Damien and their family into the future.”
She is now one of 14 papal dames amongst the 97 members of the Association. Our President John McCaffrey was amongst the congregation. Ad multos annos to Dana.
