Maryvale
Birmingham, England
The Bridgettine Sisters first arrived in Maryvale in September 1999. The convent lies in the grounds of the former Seminary of the Archdiocese of Birmingham. The mission of the sisters is particualrly special here as they look after a Catholic educational Institute that awards University degrees and other certifications in Catholic philosophy and theology. This is what the Maryvale Institute says about the Bridgettine Sisters:
"The Bridgettine Sisters have an absolutely unique role in Maryvale, living as they do in the house itself. They are central to the spirit of hospitality there, taking care of staff and visitors and providing accommodation. The spiritual sustenance and support of the Sisters is incalculable, as they contribute constant contemplative prayer and worship in the very heart of the Institute."
