As each year slips by it brings with it a major concern for us as a Missionary Congregation. We recognise that with declining health and advancing years, the need to provide ongoing care for our sick and elderly Sisters becomes greater as more members return from Africa. Our current place of retirement is at Mount Oliver Convent, Dundalk, Ireland where 15 Sisters and 5 lay people are nursed in a setting which no longer meets with E. U. Regulations. Hence the need to build a new Nursing Home where Sisters, who have given their youth and vitality serving the people of Africa, may find a place of loving care and rest. We would like to invite you to participate in this project by assisting us with fundraising towards the cost of building and equipping a new Nursing Home. These efforts may take many forms e.g. coffee mornings, sponsored walks, non-uniform days, fast days, Rich-man/Poor-man meals to name but a few! Any initiative no matter how big or small at a personal or communal level, we will be truly grateful for. Franciscan Missionary Sisters for Africa |
