Celebrating 50 years in Ballygriffin
Nano Nagle Birthplace, Ballygriffin will celebrate the 50th Birthday of its purchase by the Presentation Sisters on April 26th. Sister Anthony Maloney of Cloyne was the main inspiration behind the transfer of property from Mr. John Cronin to the Sisters. The Coach House of the Nagle Family has been renovated as a residence and the Conference Centre and Bungalows now grace the space in the shadow of the Nagle Mountains where Nano played with her siblings in the early -18th century.
At 2pm Irish time on Friday 26 April 2024, there will be a livestream of the prayer service being held. You can access the livestream on the following link: https://ontrackfilms.ie/live.php
