Welcome to CG2018! This is the website for the Presentation Sisters (Union) 2018 Congregational Gathering which is taking place in Ireland from 19 April to 14 May 2018. Some of you have been part of this journey with the Congregation for quite some time. Others are in the first days of their participation. You are all welcome.
You have come to a city, Cork, and to an ancient land, Ireland. Ireland is a place of Welcome. It is also a land blessed by the faith and spirituality of its people for millenia. Hopefully, you will have the opportunity to encounter this reality on your own journey. For many, the city where Nano lived the latter stages of her life, that part of her life which shaped the initial years of the Congregation of the Union of Sisters of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, will still harbour echoes of her presence. This will be especially true of the meetings on south bank of the River Lee in the very place where Venerable Nano prayed, worked and walked among the people.
