Opening of Congregational Heritage Centre

Sallyville, which is a listed building has now been extensively renovated and restored as a Heritage Centre and as a repository for the Archives of the Congregation. The display in the Heritage Centre tells the story of the foundation and spread of the Congregation from small beginnings in Wexford to other parts of Ireland, England, Wales, Australia, Africa and Pakistan.

The Opening Ceremony was attended by a representative group of Sisters from all parts of the Congregation. Also in attendance were Canon Sean McCarthy, Chaplain to the convent, Fr James Fegan, Adm, Wexford, Fr Dermot Gahan, CC, Ballaghkeene as well as the many people associated with the restoration and refurbishment of the Heritage Centre.

The Sisters look forward in the future to welcoming anyone who wishes to visit the Heritage Centre. Tel: 353 53 9146709 (Wednesdays only).
