The convent chapel, Finuge and an old Emmetts photo

Presentation Convent had the loveliest little chapel attached to it. It was a place of worship much loved and now missed by the people of Listowel. In hindsight we should have fought for its retention.
Dillon Boyer send me some lovely photos of the church. Here are a few to remind you of better days for the nuns.

This lovely olde world cottage in Finuge has burned down again. I sincerely hope that the money can be found to restore it once more.

This is a group of convent girls in the 1950s. I have no name at all so any help with names would be appreciated.
