Our New Abbess Mother Joanna
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Our former Abbess, Mother Christine, resigned as she reached the retirement age in December 2021. The community is grateful for her 16 years of service.

In the light of the Holy Spirit, on 12th January 2022 the feast of St Aelred, the community elected Mother Joanna as the new Abbess.

The election went very well, we give thanks to Dom Joseph Delargy our Father Immediate for his presiding, Sr Anne Reddington and Sr Marcella Logue of the Sisters of Mercy at Llanelli as witnesses, and Fr Liam Bradley as the notary.

Mother Joanna's ministry began with a joyful celebration dinner. May God grant her all the wisdom and strength to lead the community into a new era.

Please pray for Peace.

Almighty father,
You are the Lord of history, and we place in your hands the distress of our times.

Do not allow war cries and threats to triumph,
but enlighten us that we may recognise the human family across the world as one family.

Welcome those who have died,
comfort those who mourn,
be with refugees and those driven from their homes,
heal the wounds of those injured in body and soul
and be close to all who seek to aid them.

Send your Holy Spirit over the earth,
the Spirit who defeats division,
who overcomes war.

Now, Lord, please come to our aid,
guide us into the way of peace, trusting always in
Your Word, Our Lord Jesus Christ,
who lives and reigns for ever and ever,
Amen.

If there are any changes we will update this message.
