Community of St. Denys

Community of St. Denys

The Community of St. Denys (CSD) is an Anglican religious order of nuns founded in 1879, under the jurisdiction of the Diocese of Salisbury of the Church of England. The community was originally established to engage in domestic and foreign missionary work, but is now engaged in adult education, parish ministry, spiritual guidance, and leading retreats. There is a retreat house located in Warminster, and sisters also reside in Salisbury. Until 1973 a satellite community of three sisters worked in the parish of Chiswick (London W4) occupying a small cottage opposite St Nicholas church which is still named St Denys' House.
