Happy Feast of Our Lady of Walsingham! As many of you will know, over the past two years we have been running a major fundraising campaign for the purchase of a house in Walsingham which we had been offered. We are delighted to announce that we have now purchased the property with our house in Dereham remaining as our formation house.
When we first embarked on this campaign it was with total trust in God’s providence, recognising that if he wanted it, he would bring things through to completion. The campaign was called Mary’s House Appeal as we see our mission house being very much a house for Our Lady, to be used to spread the joy of the Annunciation and to be a place of welcome for all the people she may bring there in the future.
We cannot thank you all enough for your donations and prayer support that made the purchase possible. We said throughout the fundraising campaign that even the smallest donation makes a difference and it really did: in the end it all built up and enabled us to obtain this amazing and unique property. As none of the rooms are suitable for a chapel, the fundraising will continue so we can eventually, with the necessary permissions, build a small chapel in the beautiful gardens.
