Summary
Sophia is an ecumenical women's spirituality centre, which opened at Cumberland Park, in Adelaide, South Australia in 1991. Although founded by the Dominican nuns of the Holy Cross parish, Sophia embraces spirituality in its broadest sense. Teaching, activities and counselling are arranged by the centre, which describes itself as 'a circle of women, not an institution'. The members are committed to nurturing the spirituality of those who come to the centre, in celebrating together, and in working constructively for justice.

Please let me know of the whereabouts of Sr.Mary Bernard Walsh, a very dear friend who came to the U.S. 44 years ago on a Fullbright scholarship. She was secondary school principal in Cabra, I believe. I visited her in AQdelaide 14 years ago, but have not heard from her in over a year. She would be about 87 years old.
