On the 7th October our community rejoiced and celebrated with Sr Maria Breidge as she made her first Profession as a Dominican Nun. Due to Covid 19 restrictions her family and friends from County Donegal were unable to be with us and many of our Dominican brethren and sisters – who would normally join us – could not be present. Fr Gerard Dunne, vicar of the Master of the Order for our monastery, officiated at the ceremony, assisted by Fr Paul Clayton-Lea, our good and loyal friend from the diocese.

Today more than ever before, as our secularised world faces the social, political, economic and spiritual effects of Covid 19 we are in need of those who bear witness to the reality and presence of God by their lives. Many centuries ago St Augustine prayed: “You have made us for yourself O Lord and our hearts are restless until they rest in You.” We pray that amidst the fear, anxiety and suffering of this pandemic, many may hear the Lord’s invitation to turn to Him for healing and peace.

Congratulations Sr Maria Breige you are looking great. We have fond memories together, we were just looking at pictures from a great trip to Tory Island many years ago. I hope we'll be in touch. Take good care. Marie

Congratulations to Sr. M. Bréige and all of the community on this happy day. Love the card of "she who says yes" (complete with facemask) which you posted on your Facebook page. Such joy, even in the pandemic! ❤️😊😷
