St Mary’s Abbey, Glencairn is the only Cistercian monastery for women in Ireland. The monastery is located in the Blackwater Valley, about three miles upstream from Lismore, County Waterford.
At the heart of the monastic life in St Mary's is the search for God. The sisters seek God and follow Christ in a life of prayer and community, solitude and simplicity, work and hospitality.
They follow the Rule of St Benedict, an ancient source of monastic wisdom that continues to guide many people in search of an authentic spiritual path in today’s world.
For this week's interview, we speak to the Abbess Sr Marie Fahy who reflects on faith, the Church and on the vocation to give ones life totally for the glory of God.
