The sisters immediately set about establishing a convent in the Oriental Bank building. This was the second Brigidine Convent to be established in Australia! Reverend Mother, Mary Vincent Cummins, found that she was expected to repay the money of 1000 pounds. Three of the upstairs rooms were furnished as dormitories and the large garden ran through to Loch Street.
