Ave Maria!
Well it seems the FI Contemplative Sisters in Lanherne, England are sold on their convent and they want to buy it, or we should say, they *have* to buy it because the Carmelites who own it want to sell it. So they made this video to be able to raise about million pounds (£ 1,000,000 or $1,600,000) to buy the convent and St. Joseph’s Hall from them. If anyone can lend some pound sterling or can send a benefactor or two their way, please do. Please contact: – Mother Superior, Franciscan Sisters of the Immaculate, Convent of St. Joseph and St. Anne, Lanherne-St. Mawgan Newquay, Cornwall, TR8 4ER, United Kingdom Tel. 01637 860423 (fsi.lanherne@talktalk.net)
