Normally September would start the new Bernardine year in the guesthouse and we would be advertising a whole range of events. This year everything is a lot different and we are still waiting for guidelines to ensure everything is safe for us and guests. We are looking at using the time to update building work etc. So at the moment we will remain closed for large residential groups and events. We will update you as soon as possible when we make decisions.
In the meantime our new community is getting used to living together. Our new superior, Sr. Elizabeth Mary, is settling in and has already got lots of ideas to move forward. Sr. Reina is getting used to being back at Hyning after 2 years at Brownshill. The garden is producing a mountain of vegetables and we are busy making jams, marmalades and chutneys. In the absence of guests, we hope to sell these things online soon.
But we do not forget our friends and guests and hope to be able to at least welcome small numbers when possible. You are all very much in our prayers…. Please remember to pray for us and especially for the families of Sr. Mary Stella and Sr. Mary Bernard. Sr Stella’s brother in law, George, died recently as did Chris, the older sister of Sr. Mary Bernard. May they Rest In Peace.
