Biographical / Historical
The parish of Kirk Sandall was served from Armthorpe where the priest resided and so when Srs Elizabeth, Annunciata and Deborah went to live and work in Kirk Sandall in April 1988 they lived in the empty presbytery in Kirk Sandall. Sr Elizabeth worked with the handicapped in Tickhill Hospital, Sr Annunciata worked in the Maridon Pastoral Centre in Doncaster and Sr Deborah worked in the parish. The house was also used for parishioners to meet in and run short courses. After a few months Sr Maria replaced Sr Elizabeth in the community and helped Sr Annunciata in the Maridon Pastoral Centre. The name had been coined by Rev G Harney as a derivation of “Mary of Doncaster”. It catered for many people in the area, especially the disabled.
