Visitors

The Centre is now ready to receive visitors... it has been transformed from the old laundry during the days of the Boarding school.

If you wish to visit the centre, please get in touch. You would be most welcome.
 
We are currently logging the hundreds of photos that we have – both of the work of the Sisters in England and abroad in various Missions. We also have a lot of photos from the Presentation Convent High School.
If you have any photos of the Sisters or the school – we would be delighted to receive them but please – can you put on the back WHO is in the photo and the date – even an approximate date is helpful.
If you have any stories – these would be very welcome also. If you could type them and email them to Sr.Susan: presarc.heritage@yahoo.co.uk

If you would like to visit

We also hold the story of the Presentation Convent High School for Girls and we welcome our past pupils contacting us.
We hope that the centre will be a place where people can gather and meet; renew friendships; learn about Nano and the Presentation Sisters; think about our Universe and its wonders – and the need to care for our earth....

The Centre has been created by the generosity of our benefactors and we are deeply grateful to anyone who has helped in anyway.
The museum service Renaissance East Midlands have been generous and supportive in setting up the Centre.
However, we do still need (financial) help to continue the development of the Centre.
Donations can be sent to Sr.Frederica or Sr.Susan at:
Presentation Sisters
Chesterfield Rd.,

If you pay tax, please request a gift aid form as well....
