155 Years of Compassion, Care & Service 💙

This October, we celebrate 155 years since the foundation of the Sisters of St John of God in 1871.

For generations, these remarkable women have dedicated their lives to caring for others, educating young minds and supporting communities across Ireland and around the world.

Here at Ballyvaloo Retreat Centre, we are especially grateful for the 58 years of warmth, welcome and sanctuary the Sisters have created. Their legacy lives on in the peaceful surroundings and spirit of compassion that make Ballyvaloo such a special place.

Today, we honour all 1,263 women who have been part of the congregation throughout its history, and thank them for their unwavering commitment to kindness, faith and service.

155 years of making a difference, one life at a time.
