On this episode of the Nano Nagle Place podcast we chat with Sr.Annunciata Forde who joined the Presentation Order when she came through the doors of Mitchelstown Convent in October 1959.

Sr. Annunciata tells us the fascinating story of the convent which opened in 1853 and closed its doors in December 2002.

She also talks her own life and teaching career, which brought her to Mitchelstown, Midleton and Zimbabwe, a country in huge poverty and political strife.

In this special episode we chat with Sister Mary John Staunton, a pupil of South Pres who entered the order there in 1959 and subsequently went on to spend 35 years at St. Pauls School.

She chats about the early days in school and how her role model, Sister Agnes used to go out of her way to look after the very poor children.

She also talks about the founding of Saint Pauls school, which looked after children with severe learning difficulties and the very special privilege that it was to look after them.

In this special episode of the Nano Nagle podcast, we sat down with Sr. Margaret Coleman, who chats about her 47 years at  the Presentation Convent Crosshaven, Co. Cork.

As well as her own personal story she talks about the three brave sisters who went to Crosshaven to start a school in 1876, the love story that assisted them, and the many changes until the convent closed its doors on the 30th September, 2015.

She began as a boarding student in 1962 and joined the Presentation Order herself in Crosshaven immediately after, both teaching and looking after the boarding students at the school.

We hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did!

“Bloom where you are planted” is the moto that Sr.Lillian Kaar lives her life by, and her story certainly lives up to this!

We sat down to chat with her at the Regina Coeli, Queen of Heaven Convent in Farranree in Cork city.

She told the story of her Estonian father Joe Kaar, who found himself taking refuge in Cork and she chatted about entering the order in South Pres, teaching in Bandon and then spending six wonderful years in Peru.

Her Peru experience was the foundation stone for her community work in Farranree, setting up a family resource centre in a location where there was huge unemployment and people who needed a lot of help and support.

Enjoy the show!
