In
1996 our Congregation celebrated the Centenary of its foundation.
Mother Niland, our Foundress, was born in South Africa in 1860 and after
years of heroic service to the Church, died at Rosary Priory, Bushey Heath,
Herts, in 1947.
We decided to build the Niland Conference Centre to honour the memory
of our Foundress and all our Sisters who, for over a hundred years, spread
the Good News of the Gospel. These valiant women responded to the needs
of their day. We continue to follow and accept the challenges of ministry
in the Church and society of our times.
"We approach
the future with hope, in the spirit of compassion and in the pursuit of
Truth."
We trust that
the Niland Conference Centre will be a place where knowledge can be extended
and where people can come to reflect and to pray. Our aim is to offer
opportunities and facilities for:
- Dominican events
- Retreat days
- Parish Pastoral
Programmes
- In service training
days for school staff
- Meetings/conferences
- Exhibitions

Our Mission Statement
(1998) reads:
“Our mission is expressed
in
the diverse ministries in
which
we are engaged and
through
which we are open
to
the emerging, relevant
needs
in the society in which
we
live, particularly with
regard
to human rights,
the
needs of women, the
marginalised
and the care
of
the environment”.
