We are 'opening' our Christmas shop, it's that time of year again!

This year, we are selling our cards in variety packs of either 6 or 12, or, as in previous years,
you can order packs of just one design, according to your preference.

Our sisters are also busy designing and making Christmas candles which will be available to order shortly.

Please feel free to download and share copies of this poster.

Last Thursday (21st August) we had the privilege of hosting a very special tree planting, as part of the "St. Oliver 400" celebration of the National Heritage Week. The Oak sapling that was planted had been grown from an acorn taken from one of the Oak trees, which stood on the grounds of the house that St Oliver Plunkett lived in in the 1660s, in Ardpatrick, Co. Louth.

We recently had the pleasure of viewing the marvelous exhibition marking the 400th Anniversary of the birth of St Oliver Plunkett. It was fascinating to see so many artefacts from his life and times. We are very grateful to Tomás Hodgins (one of the organisers of the exhibition) for the very informative and enjoyable tour, which he gave us. ...

During the last week of June, we once again embarked on the prayerful journey of writing icons, a sacred tradition that traces its roots back to St. Luke, the first iconographer. As contemplative sisters, icon writing has been an integral part of our prayer and devotion in recent years. This ancient tradition is carried out in many monasteries across the globe, preserving a living connection to centuries of spiritual heritage. These icons, which adorn the walls of homes, churches, and institutions, serve not only as beautiful works of art but also as vivid and constant reminders of God's presence.

We are pleased to announce that our new Christmas Candles are now available and can be purchased from our online shop.

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.
