Galway Bay FM Newsroom – Galway is host today (Saturday) to a nationwide initiative to interest more women in the religious life.
The Rise of the Roses tour – which invites young women to consider a vocation – will visit the convent of the Poor Clares on Nun’s Island in the city from 1.30pm to 5pm.
The tour is coming to ten different convents over the summer.
It’s the brainchild of a small group of friends who met through the Michaela Foundation – an organisation set up to honour the values of the late Michaela McAreavey.
The event at Poor Clare’s monastery in Galway will hear from religious sisters who will share personal stories of entering the order.
The youth ministry offices for the dioceses of Tuam and Galway have been instrumental in organising the city event.
The Rise of the Roses tour will culminate at Knock shrine, County Mayo next Saturday, August 15.
