Abbeys monasteries and convents Belfast

This monastery houses a congregation of Catholic missionaries (the Redemptorists, a movement founded in 1732 in Italy) who do not practice dogma (no baptism, marriage, burial...) but preach the word of Jesus in everyday life and help the poorest. The French Gothic building was built between 1890 and 1911, with an impressive stained glass rose window on the façade (6 meters in diameter). During the political events that agitated the city, this congregation facilitated talks between religious communities.
