A new community of the Servant Sisters of the Home of the Mother will be established in Roscommon at the invitation of the Bishop of Elphin.
Last week Bishop Kevin Doran visited the Servant Sisters of the Home of the Mother Cantabria in the north of Spain to finalise the agreement with Mother Ana Maria Campo after almost a year of discussions.
“These are four joyful young women of faith, who bring between them 40 years or more of living the consecrated life,” said Bishop Doran.
The new community of four sisters will be established in Sacred Heart Parish, Roscommon on May 13. Their mission will include prayer guidance and retreat ministry with young people, the development of catechetical resources using social media, promoting devotion to the Eucharist and Mary and visiting the elderly who live alone.
