Founded in 1993 to give specialist physical and medical care to the sick and elderly sisters in England.  

Our mission is one of witness in a secular world where the old and sick and disabled are often neglected. We show this by our solidarity, mutual love and spirit of service. By our choice of contemplation and prayer, we witness to a world where God takes first place.
