Ladywell is the Motherhouse of the Congregation. It is situated in the beautiful Surrey countryside close to Guildford and is ‘home’ to all our sisters around the world.

Our mission statement captures the essence of Ladywell:

“In Ladywell we seek to create a hospitable Franciscan place with a peaceful atmosphere, rooted in Gospel values and which nurtures life for everyone.”

La Verna community – the home for our elderly sisters and those fmdm sisters who support them. The ministry of La Verna is that of PRAYER – prayer for others and for the world.
