CARD DEPARTMENT - Dominican Nuns Ireland

In our printing department sisters’ artistic talents find expression in designing cards and notelets for various occasions. We use sisters' art-work and photos taken in our garden in our card designs. We also use beautiful designs taken from our 19th Century illuminated Antiphonary from our archives, which was used for Vespers of the Major Feasts throughout the year, until the liturgy changed after Vatican II. The work of illustration in this book was accomplished by the sisters over many years and completed in 1910.

This gives us the opportunity of spreading the Word of God as well as providing ourselves with a source of income.
