Kylemore Abbey

Welcome to Kylemore Abbey. We are a community of Benedictine nuns, women committed to witnessing to the Gospel of Jesus through the monastic life of prayer, work, and community according to the Rule of St. Benedict at Kylemore Abbey in the heart of Connemara, Co. Galway and within the Archdiocese of Tuam.
Since arriving to Kylemore on 4 December 1920, our community has been anchored in the spiritual, social, educational, and cultural life of Connemara and of Ireland through our monastic life, our mission, and our stewardship of Kylemore Estate.
