SISTER MARIAN’S WEB-
WHO AM I?
I am Sister Marian, an ‘ANGLICAN RELIGIOUS’ living
as a ‘SOLITARY RELIGIOUS ‘along side that of an
‘OBLATE’ of ‘THE SOCIETY of THE SACRED CROSS’.
S. S. C. is an Anglican Contemplative Religious Order with its
Convent in ‘TYMAWR’, in Monmouth.
I am also a ‘READER’ in The Church in Wales.
I was a Primary School Teacher until a chronic illness
forced me to retire early in my mid-
illness, I was unable to enter a Religious Community, but I
had already made my ‘OBLATION’ (a promise), to live a
‘RULE of LIFE’ as an ‘OBLATE’ of S. S. C. Therefore, with the
Permission of the Convent Visitor, the backing of S. S. C., the
support and guidance of an excellent Spiritual Director and the
permission of the Bishop of Swansea and Brecon , I was allowed
to live for first one year and then a further three years under
‘TEMPORARY’ Religious Vows.
At the end of those four years further permission was given to
enable me to take before my own bishop, my ‘LIFE VOWS’, of
‘SIMPLICITY, CHASTITY and OBEDIENCE’.
My Oblation, Rule of Life and Life Vows are incorporated into
my ‘SOLITARY RELIGIOUS LIFE’ and I now live as Oblate Sister
Marian, S.S.C.
