ABOUT PARK PLACE

"The Franciscan nuns from South India who run the place make this centre special. The sisters are encouraging of all faiths, practices and developments as part of the whole, cultivating good for all and the planet."

As Franciscan Sisters our objective is to make Park Place into a strong, outward-looking centre for Christianity based on the Gospels and the socially-inclusive teachings of St Francis of Assisi.

To this end, the  Park Place community offers:

• facilities and opportunities to all people, Christian and non-Christian, to grow in understanding of how they may contribute to the betterment of society
• a place of sanctuary, meditation and peace from the pressures of day-to-day life
• support to local community organisations and individuals
• fundraising for poor and marginalised peoples in the developing world
• collaboration with our local parish of Our Lady Star of the Sea  to further the mission of the Diocese

We work in a voluntary, unpaid capacity. All the income we receive is used for the upkeep of Park Place and for our Sisters' projects helping disadvantaged groups in India, Ethiopia, Brazil and Tanzania. Park Place is a registered charity no. 250185
