Dutch donor pledges €100,000 to help save Irish monastery

An anonymous donor from the Netherlands has pledged €100,000 to save an Irish monastery.

The incredible donation came after the enclosed Catholic order appealed for funds to save their cash-strapped Priory at Stamullen, in Co Meath.

Although normally a silent order, the Benedictine Monks of Perpetual Adoration spoke out after the “critical financial situation” which they found themselves in left the future of their home “at stake”.
