Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main Thankfully this year we were able to resume much of our normal activity achievements of the charity in person following the cessation of lockdowns and restrictions. during the year Apart from our “bread and butter” work of visiting the sick and housebound to care for their spiritual needs – a service very much welcomed by those who had been isolated for so very long, we made provision for those who live locally to join us in our chapel for prayer at regular times. One of our Sisters works in a local Care Home for the elderly and is therefore very much in touch with local people which is important for us in terms of our mission to help weave the fabric of our society. In the same vein, we celebrated Eid and Diwali with our neighbours.

We continued our Chaplaincy work in both a Secondary College and in collaboration with the Centre for Theology and Community, interviewing possible candidates for our internships, leading retreats for Interns, participating in Leadership Training Programmes and meeting with an important number of people in one-to-one sessions for either Counselling or Spiritual development. This work also entailed sessions with Pentecostal Churches and Prisons as well as attendance at Citizens Assemblies in keeping with the Social Teaching of the Church. One of our members is also a Trustee on their Board.

Due to the pandemic when many lost their jobs or found themselves in situations of bereavement, a fair amount of our time was spent in meeting with these people, counselling and encouraging them in whatever way we could. Fortunately it was possible to continue with the use of our garden which provided safe spaces when needed We ran ad hoc Days of Recollection for our Associates, Young Adults and also for Confirmation Programmes when requested. In terms of our own members, we had a young women who joined us this year for initial training as a Sister and a great deal of time was naturally invested in this (which entailed travelling to France sometimes on a monthly basis for specialist training sessions). One of our members also travelled to the Dem.Rep. Of Congo where she visited several of our communities, some of which we support financially. On her return she unfortunately had to be quarantined in a hotel for a 10 day period. We continue with the care of one of our elderly members who suffers from Alzeimers.

At a Diocesan level, we continued our work as Vicar for Religious for the Diocese of Brentwood, organising gatherings with the Bishop, participated in the Bishops Council and were named as a Committee member to set up junior choirs in local Catholic Schools linking them with their Parish communities.

We were happy with what we accomplished on the whole although we did not find it possible to continue with the Garden Parties where we usually try to generate finance to help our Orphanage in Congo.
