Community of St Michael & All Angels CSM&AA Founded 1874 St Michael’s House, PO Box 79 9300 Bloemfontein, South Africa Tel: 051 401 5721

The Community of St Michael and All Angels was founded by the second Bishop of Bloemfontein, Allan Becher Webb, for pioneer work in his vast diocese, which included the Orange Free State, Basutoland, Griqualand West and into the Transvaal. The sisters were active in mission, nursing and education.
Sister Henrietta Stockdale became the founder of professional nursing in South Africa. The South African Synod of Bishops has placed her on the CPSA Calendar for yearly commemoration on 6 October. In 1874, the sisters established St Michael’s School for Girls in Bloemfontein, which still exists today as one of the leading schools in South Africa.
Today, the sisters are only three in number, perhaps indicating that their work is nearly done. It would seem that the call has been answered. They are now living at the School but the postal address is the same.
