A Timely Piece For Ireland's Own

My piece in Ireland’s Own this week about Holy Cross Monastery in Rostrevor, Co Down is timely. More than a year ago I was intrigued by this new monastery that had been founded in the province and I went to visit and learn a bit about them. The resulting article appears in the magazine this week just as the monastery’s Superior, Dom Mark-Ephrem Nolan, was installed last Sunday as an ecumenical canon at St Patrick’s Church of Ireland Cathedral in Armagh. He is the first Catholic to hold this position in a Protestant church in Northern Ireland. The Ireland’s Own issue is on sale until Monday, 30st April.
