Two nuns formerly of Abbotsford Convent get a big interview in The Age
December 18th, 2006
The Age has a big full page spread today on the Convent in general, Catherine Kovesi’s book on the history in Australia of its Sisters of the Good Shepherd, and in particular, two former nuns, Sister Monica Walsh who entered the order aged 18 in 1963 and Sister Noelene White, neither of whom these days live in nunneries or wear habits but are, nevertheless, still nuns. There have been no additions to the order in the past 20 years. It’s really worth a read; I commend it to you.

It’s a pity that people do not know that on one page of this book there are eleven factual errors, errors that caste a very poor light on living persons.I feel so stringly about the injustice done that after trying to rectify the matter by approaching the author, the publisher and the Order to no avail I have written and published a pamphlet correcting these errors. It may be obtained for free by contacting me at my email address ihdp@westnet.com.au
