A much-loved group of nuns have been forced out of their Bulwell home, and will leave Nottingham altogether after failing to raise enough money to replace their dilapidated premises.
The Poor Clare Sisters have been fundraising for a new home for many years, to replace their current monastery, next to Our Lady's Church on Brooklyn Road.
In May 2021, the 14 sisters revealed they had raised £20,000 in a matter of weeks to help with repairs to the roof, a water pipe and mouldy ceilings. Mother Damian said at the time that the future of the monastery - founded in 1927 - was somewhat in God's hands and that the sisters had a "mission to pray for people, that is what we do".
