Paperback. Condition: Good. For one hundred years, Kylemore Abbey has been home to the Irish Benedictine nuns, whose monastery in Flanders was destroyed during the First World War. Known in continental Europe as the Irish Dames of Ypres, the community was founded in 1665 and provided education to the daughters of elite Irish Catholics during the penal era. On arriving in Connemara in 1920, the Benedictines established a monastery and opened a boarding school. This book provides the first fully illustrated account of the Irish Benedictines and their monastery at Kylemore. It also charts the fascinating history of the castle, built by Mitchell Henry and later home to the Duke and Duchess of Manchester. The stunningly beautiful castle became a national landmark in the nineteenth century. The twentieth century saw the Benedictines develop the gardens, restore the Gothic Chapel and open the castle to the public. Meticulously researched with material from the Kylemore archives, this book provides a compelling account of a unique part of Irish history, while the images capture the life of the nuns, and the savage beauty of Kylemore and its surroundings under the Diamond Mountain.…

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Large-format paperback, shipping weight over 1kg, 234 pages, illustrated throughout with b&w and colour photos, NOT ex-library. Contents page signed and inscribed by the Authors. Book is clean and bright with unmarked text, free of stamps, firmly bound. Gentle handling wear only. -- This is a detailed institutional history of the Infant Jesus Sisters in Ireland, marking the centenary of the congregation's arrival and establishment in the country from 1909 to 2009. The book traces the journey of the French-founded order, also known as the Sisters of the Infant Jesus, as they established themselves in Ireland and gradually expanded their presence through teaching, missionary work, and charitable activities. The authors explore the early challenges faced by the sisters as they adapted to Irish society, the development of their educational apostolate, and their contribution to Catholic education at both primary and secondary levels. The volume examines the growth of the Irish province, the daily life and spirituality within the congregation, and the profound changes experienced by religious orders during the turbulent social transformations of twentieth-century Ireland. Particular attention is given to the sisters' missionary outreach, including their work in developing countries, and the impact of Vatican II on their religious life and mission. Drawing on archival material, personal testimonies, and photographs, the book offers an insider perspective on the evolution of one of Ireland's lesser-known religious congregations over a century that witnessed both expansion and contraction in Irish religious life. The Voyage Out is both a commemorative record for the Infant Jesus Sisters and a valuable historical document for understanding the role of Catholic nuns in Irish education and society throughout the twentieth century.
