Nazareth House in Southern Africa - A Short History

BySister Teresa Matson

This book is a History of the Nazareth Houses in South Africa and Zimbabwe, compiled from the diaries and records of the Sisters of Nazareth, that "is closely intertwined with the history of the region, the Catholic Church and of the world." Anyone who has lived in any of these Houses, or has been closely associated with the Sisters, will find that reading it and seeing the photographs is like taking a nostalgic trip though their own history. "We also see the opening, expansion, contraction and closing of Homes as circumstances change in the different centers and the adaptation to needs of the country." From the discovery of diamonds and gold, through the Boer Wars, the first and second World Wars, Nazareth House has both suffered with and rejoiced for the people of the region.
