Parishioners will be moved to learn of a reconfiguration of houses of the Comboni Missionary Sisters by the Mother General of the Order and her Council, according to which after 75 years in Chiswick the Sisters are moving to Birmingham. Missionaries must always of course be ready to move for the sake of the mission but this is nonetheless a very significant move both for the Sisters and for the parish. The 11.00am Sunday Mass on 15th March will be a Thanksgiving Mass: the Sisters’ thanksgiving to the parish and the parish’s thanksgiving to them. There will be just three more 6.00pm Wednesday Masses celebrated in the convent: 25th Feb and 4th & 11th March which will be their last parish Mass in the convent. Let us keep the Sisters in our prayers at this time of transition for them, not to say also for us.
