England

In 1858, the Marist Sisters established their first foundation outside of France in Spitalfields in the East End of London. It was a poor area and there was a great need for education. Later some Sisters were involved in nursing in hospital and surgeries.

Today the Marist Sisters in England have communities in Manchester, Birmingham, New Malden, London, Sunninghill, Hythe and Walsingham. The sisters are involved in social, pastoral and spiritual work.

Manchester: Marist Youth Centre

The Marist Youth Centre in Manchester facilitates diverse day retreats for School children and offers support for Chaplain- and Parish groups.

Hythe: Villa Maria, Care Home:

Villa Maria, Hythe provides care for our elderly Sisters and a few members of the public. Villa Maria is a place ‘to be’ – with time to pray, reflect and relax.

Walsingham:

Our Sisters minister to pilgrims visiting the Catholic National Shrine of Our Lady.

Sunninghill: Marist School

During World War II, our foundation in Richmond was destroyed during the bombing raids. After the war, a boarding and day school was re-established in Sunninghill. The school is still flourishing.
