Our former Abbess, Mother Christine, resigned as she reached the retirement age in December 2021. The community is grateful for her 16 years of service.

In the light of the Holy Spirit, on 12th January 2022 the feast of St Aelred, the community elected Mother Joanna as the new Abbess.

The election went very well, we give thanks to Dom Joseph Delargy our Father Immediate for his presiding, Sr Anne Reddington and Sr Marcella Logue of the Sisters of Mercy at Llanelli as witnesses, and Fr Liam Bradley as the notary.

Mother Joanna's ministry began with a joyful celebration dinner. May God grant her all the wisdom and strength to lead the community into a new era.
