NAZARETH HOUSE, CHRISTCHURCH

HOME FOR AGED POOR AND ORPHAN AND INCURABLE CHILDREN.

This Institution is a Branch of the well-known Nazareth House, Hammersmith, London, which has 29 Branch Houses in the United Kingdom, Africa^ and Australia; affords a_ < permanent home to aged and infirm poor of "both sexes, . also to Orphan and Incurable Girls (those entirely idiotic or suffering from fits excepted). The Home has no funds, and depends entirely for the support of the poor on the alms collected daily by the Sisters in money, food, and clothes. The aged poor are received without distinction as to creed ' or country, and left perfectly free to attend their own place of worship. A number of applications had to be refused for want of space, and the Sisters were obliged to build, and ' thus incur a very heavy debt; but they rely entirely upon Divine providence and the generosity of their many kind benefactors (which has never yet failed them) to enable them J to pay off this debt. The House may be visited daily- b"-. " iwe'en the hours of 2 -arid. 4 p/:m. : Cheques'and p.o. orders 1 nWde payable 5 to4he" Sup^rior^ Mother iM.uEelix, !
