Following on from a weekend which was held at Prinknash Abbey and called a Cusillo. Louisa came home ready to do all she could to love and serve the Lord. Louisa enrolled in a course called Frame Work For Faith which lasted three years and which she enjoyed very much.
Our then curate Bill Boon who was also a dear friend of Louisa's suggested that she should look into the Lay Readership telling her "it was just up my street"!! Louisa did look into Lay Readership and was accepted for training.
