This is a cause that is particularly close to their hearts as over 100 years ago the Irish Dames of Ypres, a Benedictine Order of Nuns, fled war-torn Ypres in Belgium. Arriving in Ireland as refugees, they found sanctuary in Kylemore Abbey and have been operating the estate as a place of peace, welcome, and prayer ever since.
