The ministry grew quickly upon their arrival in the country. Their mission and reputation were supported by a well-known journalist named Lady Georgina Fullerton, who had met Mother St. Beatrix when they first arrived in London. Thanks in part to an article written by Lady Fullerton in the Tablet, the sisters\u2019 services were in high demand.<\/p>\n<p>During World War II, the sisters\u2019 convent was one of the few buildings in the immediate area left standing after the Blitz. A Sacred Heart statue was dedicated after the war in thanks for their preservation.<\/p>\n<p>The sisters expanded into Scotland in 1948, purchasing a small house to provide care for the elderly. They then purchased four houses to build the Glasgow Hospital, which closed in 2012. <\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: left\" class=\"vc_custom_heading\" >Ministry Today<\/h6>\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element  door-list\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<p>Our sisters continue to have a presence in London and Glasgow and minister in the following areas:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"list mb-3\">\n<li>Parish ministry<\/li>\n<li>Minister to the terminally ill<\/li>\n<li>Home visitation<\/li>\n<li>A Young Adult Ministry in Liverpool is being developed<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_inner vc_row-fluid vc_custom_1677137558920\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"vc_btn3-container  button_custom vc_btn3-inline vc_custom_1706092175809\" id=\"smallfont\" ><a style=\"background-color:#00b2a9; color:#ffffff;\" class=\"vc_general vc_btn3 vc_btn3-size-lg vc_btn3-shape-square vc_btn3-style-custom\" href=\"\/living-your-faith-as-a-sister-of-bon-secours\/\" title=\"\">Learn More About Becoming a Sister<\/a><\/div><div class=\"vc_btn3-container  button_custom vc_btn3-inline vc_custom_1706092186104\" id=\"smallfont\" ><a style=\"background-color:#7c6992; color:#ffffff;\" class=\"vc_general vc_btn3 vc_btn3-size-lg vc_btn3-shape-square vc_btn3-style-custom\" href=\"\/bon-secours-associates\/\" title=\"\">Learn More About Becoming an Associate<\/a><\/div><div class=\"vc_btn3-container  button_custom vc_btn3-inline vc_custom_1706092195952\" id=\"smallfont\" ><a style=\"background-color:#84bd00; color:#ffffff;\" class=\"vc_general vc_btn3 vc_btn3-size-lg vc_btn3-shape-square vc_btn3-style-custom\" href=\"\/pray\/\" title=\"\">Pray With Us<\/a><\/div><div class=\"vc_btn3-container  button_custom vc_btn3-inline vc_custom_1706098653714\" id=\"smallfont\" ><a style=\"background-color:#009cde; color:#ffffff;\" class=\"vc_general vc_btn3 vc_btn3-size-lg vc_btn3-shape-square vc_btn3-style-custom\" href=\"https:\/\/bonsecours.org\/en\/bon-secours-international-young-adults\/\" title=\"\">Learn More About Our Young Adults Ministry<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"sidebar wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-4\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h6 style=\"text-align: left\" class=\"vc_custom_heading\" >Explore Our Other Areas<\/h6>\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element  door-list\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<ul class=\"list\">\n<li><a href=\"\/france\/\">France<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/ireland\/\">Ireland<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/united-states\/\">United States<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/peru\/\">Peru<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/the-democratic-republic-of-the-congo\/\">Democratic Republic of the Congo<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Where We ServeGreat BritainWelcome to Great Britain Founded in 1870 Leadership Office in Cork Ireland Area Leader: Sister Eileen O\u2019Connor Welcome to the Sisters of Bon Secours in Great Britain.
