I'll just mention that the nuns changed from an Augustine one to a group which follows the Jesuit rule in the 17th c.

I'm not sure if the Scottish Sisters of St. Andrew also changed their following - there is a sign at the entrance to the care home which says "Augustinian Care", so I had assumed that the nuns were still part of the Augustine order.

Really? That goes go to show how limited online info can be, and how complicated religious orders can be!!

The Scottish and European Sisters form one international congregation, founded and headquartered in Belgium, thus would all follow the same Rule and Constitutions. Their website is very clear about how they live in in the Ignatian spirit, but perhaps they have kept a formal observance of the Rule of St. Augustine which their foundresses adopted as their way of life in the 13th century. Otherwise it might just be a reflection of their historical origins. Thanks for your info
