COMMUNITY OF THE HOLY NAME     CHN

(ZULU Province)    

 

  The Community of the Holy Name in Zululand was founded by three Zulu Sisters who began their Religious Life with the Community in Leribe.  All three Provinces of CHN have the same Rule of life, but there are differences of customary and constitutions to fit in with cultural differences.  The daily life of the Community centres around the daily Office, and the Eucharist whenever the presence of a priest makes this possible.

 The Sisters are involved extensively in mission, pastoral and evangelistic work.  The Zulu Sisters have evangelistic gifts, which are used in parishes throughout the diocese at the invitation of parish priests.  Several Sisters have trained as teachers or nurses.  They work in schools or hospitals, where possible within reach of one of the Community houses.  Their salaries, and the handicrafts on sale at the Convent at Kwa Magwaza, help to keep the Community solvent.
