Mount Sackville Community

Mt. Sackville Community is primarily a retirement home with a nursing home facility for sisters in need of care, not only within the community but also for returned Irish Cluny missionaries. Most active sisters, few in number in the community, are involved in supporting the work of the Nursing home as nurses and in support services. Our ministries outside the community are limited, however, a few sisters are involved in Parish Ministry and in Mt. Sackville Primary and Secondary Schools as well as in an Associate Programme.   

As a retired community we see ourselves as having three very important ministries which fortunately our age does not hinder us participating in, rather they energise us as we grow older! We are happy then to establish ourselves as;

• a praying community for so many urgent needs pouring into us daily. We have a choir practice once weekly. This ensures that our vocal chords are activated and provides us with the opportunity to learn new songs and hymns which give life and vigour to our daily liturgies which are much enhanced due to the effort put into this exercise.
  
  
• as a serving community we are happy to recognise, acknowledge and use the various skills and talents we still have at our disposal in ministries to the community at large as well as at an interpersonal level.
  
  
• as a welcoming open house community through which we share our time and our facilities with our schools, visitors, missionaries on holidays, retreatants and callers to our home.
