COMMUNITY OF THE RESURRECTION OF OUR LORD  CR

 

This Community was founded in 1884 by Bishop Allan Becher Webb and Cecile Isherwood to undertake pastoral and educational work in Grahamstown.  These two types of work, and later Social Welfare work, have predominated in the Community’s undertakings throughout its history.  The regular life of monastic Offices and personal prayer and intercession has always been maintained, both in the Mother House (Grahamstown) and all branch houses, wherever situated.  It is still maintained in Grahamstown, the only centre where the Community life continues, our numbers being now much reduced.

 The Sisters are involved in various ministries: at the Cathedral and other churches as needed; in the Raphael Centre for people suffering from HIV/Aids etc; in visiting at Old Age Homes and the hospital; soup kitchens; and needlework/banners.
