All Saints Sisters of the Poor

All Saints Sisters of the Poor We are a dispersed Anglican religious community of women. In Oxford, the Sisters pioneered several programmes. We are active in our local parish.

We have a house in West London and our Sister who is a priest lives in Chichester Diocese.We have an active ministry . In 1879, the All Saints Sisters of the Poor were invited to run St John’s, a hospital on a four acre site in Oxford, and we have been here ever since. The community consists of five sisters in life vows, one of whom is undertaking ordained ministry in London. These include Helen H

ouse and Douglas House (hospices for children and young adults), and also The Porch (support for the homeless and vulnerably housed). Within the grounds, St John’s Home now provides independent residential care for the elderly, while Helen House, the world’s first children’s hospice, welcomes children with life shortening conditions, with their families. Douglas House offers the same care for young adults. We provide the peace and enjoyment of the grounds and gardens for residents and families visiting St John’s Home and adjacent Helen and Douglas House Hospices. We offer hospitality to groups and individuals, including those who want an alongsider experience. Pastoral visiting, preaching, public speaking and spiritual direction are some of the ways we live out our calling.

I love to come to visit our old Chapel and site of the hospital at Eastbourne that we ran many years ago. A significant part of the history of our Society and remembering with thanks the Sisters who served there.
I want to come and give thanks for the blessing of this place and for Harriet, our Founder, who spent much time here. Thanks be to God.

So sorry to hear of the death of Pope Francis. He has been such an inspiration to us all. How fitting to have given one last blessing on Easter Sunday.
May he rest in peace and rise with Christ in glory!
