Farewell to Our Wonderful Sisters 

Bishop Mark joined the Sisters at Nazareth House, in Plymouth on Saturday 28th September to say a huge thank you and to bid farewell  and good luck to both Sr Rose Ita and Sr Kathleen O’Reilly, two members of the Nazareth House Sisters, who are moving on to new pastures.  We are so grateful for the exceptional care that the Sisters have shown to the elderly and vulnerable at Nazareth House and they will be sorely missed.
