Where we are |
|
 |
Convent St Mary’s Convent is situated in Wantage, where our Community was founded. It is home to our Novitiate, the Infirmary Wing for our elderly sisters, and our Guest Wing. At the centre of our life is the daily Eucharist and the saying of the Office. Sisters also engage in a variety of ministries both within and beyond the Convent. These include spiritual direction and retreats, parish work and various crafts. |

London Our house in London opened in 2002 and is situated in the multi-cultural area of Harringay. There are two Sisters living there, the Community's Daily Office is said and there is a weekly Eucharist in the house. They are involved in local community and neighbourhood. One Sister is Parish Sister at St Paul's Harringay - Edmonton Diocese of London - and also the Missionary Secretary for Wantage Overseas which is based in this house. The other Sister helps as a volunteer within the Chaplaincy of a local hospital. Spiritual Direction and Quiet Days are undertaken as requested. |

St Katharine's House St Katharine’s House is a nursing and care home for the elderly situated in Wantage. It was founded by our Community and a small group of Sisters continue to live there providing a prayerful presence and pastoral care for the residents. Residents who wish are able to join the Sisters in the Chapel for the Daily Office and for a regular Eucharist. Sisters are involved in the wider community through neighbourhood ministry, spiritual direction, a ministry to students and staff at school for the deaf. |
