Sisters of Our Lady of Sion UK & Ireland Province

Home		Jerusalem 'Jerusalem is the heart of the congregation; it is Jerusalem which gives the congregation its special character' (Alphonse Ratisbonne)
		Sion is one of the Biblical names for Jerusalem, and for us, Jerusalem is one of the most significant places in our congregation. It is a privileged place for us to live our charism. We have two large houses in Jerusalem. Both of them have guest houses for pilgrims. In the village of Ein Karem on the outskirts of Jerusalem is the Convent of Notre Dame de Sion Ecce Homo Convent is in the Moslem Quarter of the Old City. Ecce Homo is a guest house for pilgrims and also hosts The Biblical Programme This year , 2006, the congregation is celebrating the 150th anniversary of Sion arriving in Jerusalem.
