I got a nice e-mail early today from Ireland — where, wonder of wonders, there is a group of Cistercian nuns maintaining their beautiful and holy way of life.

And they are tiptoeing into the 21st century. They have a lovely website devoted to their abbey, St. Mary’s.

And their vocations director, Sister Eleanor, has now launched her very own vocations blog! Pay a visit, look around, surf the news. Enjoy the gorgeous pictures of the place, too. And spread the word.
