The Archbishop was joined by Fr Michael Kelleher, C.Ss.R., Provincial of the Irish Redemptorists and Fr Stan Mellett, C.Ss.R.  Sr Gabrielle presented a Christmas candle handmade by the Redemptoristine nuns to Archbishop Joe, Fr Michael and Fr Stan.

The final lecture on Canon law for 2011 brought the Contemplatives and Apostolic Sisters out in droves! The event hosted by Sr Gabrielle and the community is always a great event in the Monastery.  Sr Elizabeth Cotter, IBVM, Canon Lawyer will continue in 2012 to communicate her knowledge of Canon Law to the sisters.
