From Mrs June Rockett SIR – Dominic Scarborough (Comment, September 4) has overlooked one new community of female religious which is already thriving in England.
He mentions that the Franciscans of the Immaculate have “gained a foothold” in the Plymouth diocese, but ignores the Dominican Sisters of St Joseph, whose priory near Lymington (Portsmouth diocese) was established some years ago, and is now a muchloved and appreciated centre of spirituality for all who know it.
