22nd November 2024

News Religion

Roscrea will be the new temporary home for the monks of Mt Melleray Abbey.

The Cistercian Abbey near Cappoquin in County Waterford is to close in January due to the falling number of vocations and ageing communities.

Mt Melleray was founded in 1883 on the slopes of the Knockmealdowns

The order confirmed the closure this morning with the remaining monks in Melleray relocating to Mount St Joseph in Roscrea.

Monks from Mellifont in Co Louth will also be moving to North Tipp.
