The story behind our new Birthday Card.

One of our dear Sisters hails from the west of Ireland, not too far from Ballinasloe, Co. Gslway, and until she entered our monastery, lived a life of almost Franciscan love for the beauty of all that surrounded her on the family farm.

A reminder about our upcoming Vocations Discerment Weekend. Please feel free to download and share this poster.

One of our sisters has just finished a major work of restoration on the statue of Our Lady and the Child Jesus that resides in our chapel and we thought we would share with you her wonderful work. Have a look!

We will begin our Annual Retreat tomorrow, Saturday the 11th of May, and will conclude it on Saturday the 18th of May.

The rock from which we were hewn - Mother Catherine Plunkett, our foundress.

Fondly know as “The Siena” by the town’s people, the Monastery of saint Catherine of Siena has been part of Drogheda’s history for three hundred years. On this day 300 years ago we received official recognition from the master of the Order.
From our first beginnings in 1722 in a humble mud cabin on the banks of the Boyne to our present location in the Twenties our praying presence has enfolded the town and radiated the presence of God to the very ends of the earth. It is this consistent praying presence that we would like to honour and give thanks for, in this celebration of our third centenary.
