Mr Dalton has been working hard to secure a site on which to build a convent for the Sisters of the Infant Jesus who have been brought over from Belgium. Recent appeals for funds have meant the work has not been able to commence. But with £1000 promised, a further £500 can be raised by a tax of one shilling per head (sixpence for those not able to afford that), it would be possible to progress the work ourselves.
