This is where we, as nuns of the Order of Preachers, find our place – to exist to receive the Word of God, to celebrate it with joy, to ponder it in our hearts and live by it so that all are touched with its saving power.
History
Spread out beneath the hilltop on the Twenties, the town of Drogheda is marked out at night by its shimmering borders as the lights of the town spring to life - a constant reminder to us to pray for the needs or our people and all those in similar towns and cities in our country and throughout the world.
Community
We try to follow the example of Dominic who was always joyful, kind, compassionate and a pleasant companion to his brothers and sisters. Mindful that all growth in love is mysteriously fruitful for the growth of the whole people of God we make our own Dominic’s constant prayer for this gift of true love.
Sacred Space
While our lives are spent for the most part within the confines of the monastery and its grounds, this hidden life is meant to open our hearts and minds to the breadth, height and depth of the love of God Who sent His Son so that the whole world might be saved through Him.

WHAT WE DO
Prayer
Prayer
The solemn Celebration of the liturgy is the heart of our whole life and the chief source of its unity.
In our daily schedule we try to create a healthy balance between prayer and work, while always giving priority to the celebration of the liturgy, and prayer.
For us study is not simply an intellectual pursuit but an openness to truth wherever we encounter it and a willingness to be challenged and changed by it.
