Glencomeragh House 3.72

Glencomeragh House, the Rosminian House of Prayer, is situated at the foot of the Comeragh Mountains, in a part of the hidden Ireland between Tipperary and Waterford. It is a place of spectacular natural beauty, bounded by mountains, woods and streams. The nearest village is Kilsheelan, which has won many Tidy Town awards. The historic towns of Carrick-on-Suir and Clonmel, to the east and west respectively, are within easy driving distance. Glencomeragh is now a House of Prayer, owned and run by members of the Rosminian Institute of Charity.

Who Comes To Glencomeragh?

People of all religions and none come to Glencomeragh, on their own or as couples or in groups, large and small. They come to meditate, to go on retreat, to give thanks, to seek help in times of crisis or simply to take time out from their busy lives. Groups wishing to find a quiet place for seminars or business meetings come regularly to avail of the excellent conference facilities. The House also offers a varied programme of events which are organised throughout the year.

Who Runs Glencomeragh?

Glencomeragh is run by the Rosminians. They are a group of priests, brothers and sisters, members of a Catholic Religious Order. We are spread over four continents. We are a comparatively small Order but are engaged in a wide variety of charitable works. We were founded in Italy and spread quickly to England and Ireland and from there to the U.S.A., Africa, New Zealand, South America and India.
