...were busy at St Elizabeth's Church in Richmond, raising funds which they badly need - because they have good numbers of young women expressing interest in joining them...but have insufficient space to ccomodate them! PLEASE HELP these wonderful sisters.They are the Sisters of Mary Morning Star and you can find out about them here...
And you can help them by sending a donation :Sisters of Maria Stella Natutina, Harvey House,Headley Road, Grayshott GU26 6DP
I was at the church to talk to Fr Stephen the parish priest about CATHOLIC HISTORY WALKS in this beautiful riverside town in the spring. There is rich Catholic history here...evidenced by names like Friars Stile Road and indeed The Vineyard in which St Elizabeth's stands...and there is Bl John Henry Newman's childhood home at Ham...watch for info in due course on the Catholic History Walks website...
I stopped to chat to the Sisters - we met at Youth 2000 a couple of summers back. These are young nuns, and it is somehow fun to have that mix of youth - the way they talk ("It's, like. amazing, like, to be, like, praying" etc) - along with traditional nuns' robes...
I bought some of the sisters home-made produce (bikkies, cake, some Christmas gifts) , enjoyed a cup of tea with them...
Home on the bus with lots of cheery Twickenham Rugby crowds...
