Prior to their departure from the Dioceses in March 2021, the Poor Clare Sisters gifted the diocesan archives with a wealth of material. Diocesan archivist, Dr Donna Bailey used this material to compile a book which features their memoirs, letters and photographs. it was given as a gift to each of the Poor Clare Sisters before they departed.
Bishop Shane Mackinlay said of the book, " As we farewell the Poor Clare Sisters, I am delighted that we have been able to assemble this record of their presence amongst us, largely in their own words".
To commemorate the depature of the Poor Clare Colettines from the Diocese and to share their legacy, a digital version of this book is now available for you to view online.
