ÃÈÃÃÉçans
The ÃÈÃÃÉçans were founded by St ÃÈÃÃÉç Guzman in 1206. His Order of Preachers fought error with truth and founded and inspired many of the great European universities.
The first ÃÈÃÃÉçan nuns, although leading a contemplative life, accepted converts and the daughters of noble families into their monasteries and educated them. The sisters first came to the Glenorchy parish and Holy Name College in 1959. The ÃÈÃÃÉçans believe that education leads to the realisation that the deepest truth is faith in God's presence in their lives. Although there are no longer ÃÈÃÃÉçan Sisters teaching at ÃÈÃÃÉç, their interest remains strong. Sr Pam and Sr Mary are neighbours and regularly attend College celebrations and community festivities.
