The sisters in the Monastery of St Alphonsus make Altar Breads, write icons, make cards, and  now make candles from start to finish.  Sr. Evina is our candle maker. We make candles for Baptisms, First Communion, Confirmation, Weddings and special occasions.  Sr. Evina will personalize the candle for you. Here are some samples. They are for sale. Please contact the Monastery at 085 281 2785 or Sr. Gabrielle at : gabrielle.fox@redemptorists.ie.

The Icon Retreats held in the Faith Centre of the Monastery of St Alphonsus in June, July, August and October of 2009 were enjoyed by all who wrote an Icon. Here are some photos from the Retreats.  The Icon Master was Mihai Cucu.

Many Congratulations, prayers and blessings to Sr Evina on the occasion of her First Profession. Sr Evina’s father and mother travelled from Slovakia to be with Evina on this very special day of taking her first vows. The Chief Celebrant was Rev. Fr. Michael Kelleher C.Ss.R Provincial of the Redemptorists in Ireland and Sr Gabrielle Prioress received Sr. Evina’s vows.

We celebrated this wonderful day with Sr Maura’s family and the community of the Redemptoristines as we give thanks to God for this First Profession of Sr Maura’s.

Rev. Fr. Michael Kelleher C.Ss.R Provincial of the Irish Redemptorists was Chief Celebrant and Sr Gabrielle Prioress of the Monastery of St Alphonsus received Sr Maura’s vows. Many Blessings to Sr Maura in your life as a Redemptoristine.
