NAZARETH HOUSE, CHRISTCHURCH

HOME FOR AGED POOR AND ORPHAN AND INCURABLE CHILDREN.

This Institution, is a Branch of the well-known Nazaretl House, Hammersmith, London, which has 29 Branch Housec in the United Kingdom, Africa, and Australia; affords a permanent home to aged and infirm poor of both sexeri, also to Orphan and Incurable Girls (those entirely idiotic 6i suffering from fits excepted). The Home has no funds, and depends entirely for the support of the poor on the almt collected daily by the Sisters in money, food, and clothes, The aged poor -are received without distinction as to creed or country, and loft perfectly free to attend their own place of worship. A number. of applications had to be refused foi - want of space, and the Sisters were- obliged to build, and thus incur sC 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 to pay off this debt. The House may be visited daily between the hours of 2 and 4 p.m. Cheques and p.d.' orden may be made payable, to the Superior, Mother *M. Felix.
