THE P RTAL

hospitality
The Sisters are able to offer hospitality but it’s of a
limited sort at present. They are just starting off but
hope that their main support will be offering monastic
Benedictine hospitality.
traumatic departures
Sister Barbara Claire was anxious to tell me; “We’ve
had, in a sense, two traumatic departures. The
departure from Wantage and then we had to leave
our beloved Sisters at Ryde to come here. This was a
big step. They had been so welcoming to us. Because
of all this we haven’t really got
going with our Liturgy quite yet.
It will take us time to get our
energies back in that direction.
