The Institute of
Perpetual Adoration of the Most Holy Sacrament was established in
Wexford in 1875 by the then Bishop of Ferns, Most Rev. Dr. Thomas Furlong,
Mother Mary Joseph Bennett and six of her companions. These two pioneers intended that the convent would be a place apart, a house of prayer which would serve as a source of inspiration and spiritual energy for all the people of the diocese of Ferns. |

The sisters are particularly devoted to the veneration of the Eucharist, the mysterious presence of Christ among us. In order that everyone might partake in the special privilege of this prayer the present convent was built next to a parochial church, the church of the Assumption, in 1887. From that day to this adoration has continued uninterrupted in the church and its adjoining chapel thereby bringing blessings to the whole Christian community. |
