Dear UNCC Friends,

The UN Catholic Club warmly invite you to a very special gathering this Wednesday:

UNCC Annual Commissioning Ceremony
In honor of the Feast of St. Thérèse of Lisieux
Wednesday, 1 October 2025
Holy Family Church

We will hold a special commissioning of our UN staff on the Feast of St. Thérèse, beloved Doctor of the Church and Patroness of Missionaries. Her “Little Way” reminds us that the heart of mission lies in doing small things with great love. This mission perfectly resonant with our quiet apostolate at the UN.

We are deeply honored to welcome two special guests from the Carmelite Institute of the UK:

• Fr. Alex Ezechukwu, O.Carm.

• Fr. Liam Finnerty, O.Carm.

They are flying in specifically to be with us, to meet the UN Catholic community and to personally lead this commissioning rite. Their presence is a rare and beautiful gift.

Also Featuring:  A soft launch of the "Decor Carmeli Foundation". This Carmelite-inspired initiative seeks to foster formation, accompaniment, and service in today’s world. Come hear the vision and light a candle for this new beginning. Whether you are a longtime member or joining us for the first time, we would love to have you with us as we begin the new year of our UNCC activities grounded in prayer, fellowship, and mission.

Feel free to bring a colleague or friend!
