Stillpoint

Stillpoint: on the outskirts of Lurgan, Co Armagh, Stillpoint was established in response to a congregational aspiration for a House of Prayer in Ireland in which 'alternative ways of being community' might be explored. A core of five sisters have developed a Mercy community, living reflectively and contemplatively. The house offers sacred space for those wishing to be alone to experience the stillness and quietness: alternatively participants may also share in the prayer of the community and outreach programmes. The newly-refurbished 'peace corridor' is a self-contained unit.

This is a Diocesan house of mercy, welcome and hospitality, located in Co Donegal in the North of the Province. People from all walks of life, and from all stages of life, visit the house frequently. The Sisters who are part of the apostolate of Mercy see the work they do as fulfilling a great desire for prayer and healing in this modern secular world.
