02 Activities

What the charity does

Our focus in the U.K. is to provide comfort and security for the elderly in a family atmosphere, in our residential homes, nursing unit and retirement flats. The Congregation's work overseas is more diverse; to respond to destitution, sickness, lack of employment or education opportunity.
