DEATH on 5th of October 2025 of Sister Veronica Sheehan, born Kilbaha
93 years ago. Sr Veronica joined Sisters of St Josephs of Annecy 72
years ago, she died at New Inn Convent. Sister Veronica was well known
in the South Wales area for many years in the healthcare ministry. In
recent years she lived in Llantarnam Abbey and later in New Inn
Community. She spent some years in Zambia also. Sr Veronica was
predeceased by her sister Sr. Anne Bernadette.
——————————
Veronica, England
I am Sr. Veronica. I did my nurse training at St Anthony’s Hospital
in Surrey, England and gained my SRN Certificate in 1959. Midwifery
training followed at the Bearstead Jewish Hospital, London and South
London Hospital qualifying in June 1961.
On completion of midwifery training I joined three other Sisters in
our newly-opened Maternity Unit, St. Anne’s, at St. Joseph’s Hospital,
Newport. To this day mothers speak of the wonderful care they had; so
much so they didn’t want to return home. The cost was £8.50 for eight
days which was covered by the Maternity Grant so that any mother could
benefit from it.
When St. Anne’s closed in 1974 I obtained a post in charge of the
Maternity Unit at The Middlesex Hospital, London. Several years later
I was asked to transfer to Cardiff and from there worked as a
community midwife attached to the Heath Hospital.
On retiring from midwifery in 1992 I was asked to go to Fullabantang,
Gambia for 4 months; this extended to 7 years. I was sponsored by
APSO Ireland and opened an outdoor clinic and creche followed by
health programmes in the villages. My nursing colleagues in Wales
sponsored the medicines and in that time thousands of lives must have
been saved as Malaria is widespread in that part of Africa.

Sr. Anne Bernadette – Maureen Sheehan of Kilbaha, Moyvane, Co. Kerry,
Ireland, who died at Llantarnam Abbey on 19th July 2022, aged 92
years, 69 of Religious Profession.
Sr Anne Bernadette – Maureen Sheehan – was born on the 8th May 1930,
in Kilbaha, County Kerry in Ireland. She was one of a large family,
born to Ellen and Thomas Sheehan. Anne loved all her siblings and had
wonderful memories of playing with and caring for the younger
children. Her childhood was happy and carefree. She attended the
national school in Kilbaha and later a Domestic Training College in
Claremorris, Co. Mayo. Dates she remembered clearly were her First
Communion, her Confirmation Day and the day she left home to enter the
convent.
Her first contact with the Sisters was when she and her sister
Veronica were working in London, and they went to Grove Park to meet
with Mother Baptist, with a view to her entering. She had a deep
desire to give herself to God in Religious Life. Veronica, a nurse,
was so impressed on hearing about the nursing apostolate of the
Sisters that she decided to join Anne Bernadette. They entered on St
Patrick’s Day 1951. Leaving family and home was a sad occasion, but
they soon found themselves in the novitiate, with a big group of
lively young women, some of whom were from Kerry. Sister valued her
religious training and was greatly appreciative of Mother Walburga,
the novice mistress. Coming from a faith-filled family, prayer was
already central to her life, and she now valued learning how to deepen
this. She longed for the day when she would make her vows. She was
so grateful to have Sr Veronica with her in the Novitiate at this
time.
After vows she went to Redruth for one year and to Killorglin for a
year. She was then in Cardiff for 8 years as a homemaker. Sisters who
lived with her at this time remember her as a gentle, kind and caring
Sister, and an excellent cook. When a community was opened at the
Bishop’s House in Clifton, Bristol, Sr Anne Bernadette was sent there.
Her superior in Cardiff, Mother Felicitas, said of her that she was
fit to cook for the Queen, not to mind for a Bishop!!!
In 1967, Sister moved to Pilltown, and here she was a Community Worker
in a new project, working mostly with poor families and with the
Travelling People. She did excellent work and was deeply loved by the
people, and she loved them in return. From 1970 to 1972, she did
Social Work training in Liverpool. She then returned to Killorglin to
take up Social Work, working with Families with a variety of problems.
She did this until 1977. The local people could not speak highly
enough of her. She was always willing to go the extra mile, night or
day. In 1978 she moved to Taunton as Superior. While there she was
involved in some voluntary social work in the area, in the recruitment
of foster parents.
From 1980 to 1986 she was in Pollok, Glasgow, again doing Social Work,
which she loved. She helped many families trace their origins and
she re-united many of them. This was a work she deeply loved and she
was very good at it. She then spent time in both Merthyr and Penarth,
before ill health finally obliged her to come to the Abbey for the
care she needed. Here she remained for the next twenty-two years. She
said “Getting ill, and no longer being able to do anything is so hard,
but God does not ask more of us that we can give.”
She was very grateful to have Sr Veronica with her in her last years
in St. Joseph’s. She visited her every day, saying the Rosary with
her, and sharing news of the family, of whom they were so proud. Their
sisters, brothers, nieces and nephews were all so supportive of them,
and visited them when they could. These last years of Sr Anne
Bernadette’s illness were hard for her, and she suffered. But she was
always so grateful for the care she received.
Sr Anne Bernadette had many gifts and talents. She was a real
perfectionist, whatever she did was done perfectly. She had a great
love for the poor, especially for poor children. Many she placed in
good adoptive homes, and they still kept in contact with her. Her
empathy with children in trouble was so evident in her daily prayers
over many years for little Madeleine McCann, the little girl who
disappeared without trace while on holiday in Portugal. She was a
woman of deep faith and prayer. Sr Louise, A Sister of Charity who
worked with Sr Anne Bernadette, said of her “she was a most competent
person, a sensitive skilful and resourceful social worker. She was
always gentle, refined, delightful to work with, and an asset to the
Children’s Society”.
She loved the staff here in St Joseph’s and prayed much for them, and
we know she will continue to do this for them now. She loved her two
families…her Sheehan Family and her St. Joseph family. Since her
death on 19th July, 2022, she has no doubt been continuing to care for
us all from her place in heaven. May you now rest in peace, Sr Anne.

BLACKSOD: Hugh Dooley
Sun Oct 12 2025 – Built for £2,440 in 1864 (about €435,000), Blacksod
Lighthouse is at the centre of a burgeoning tourism industry in the
Erris Peninsula in Co Mayo. Lighthouse tourism is becoming a big
revenue generator in remote parts of the country, with more than
350,000 visits and €33 million in direct revenue per year.
“It is massive for the local area,” says Fergus Sweeney, (a Grandson
of Bridie Flavin, Knockanure) who looks after tourism at Blacksod
Lighthouse. “It’s creating jobs that just did not exist in the area
before 2021.” In addition to the 25 jobs directly created by the
lighthouse, the tourists it is drawing to the area is helping the
local hotels and businesses.

Ortec began searching for a European site a few years ago, and quickly
established a good working relationship with the IDA. The company was
already supplying materials to the existing pharmaceutical and medical
device community in Europe, and the business friendly environment gave
Ireland an immediate advantage. A well-educated, native English
speaking populace made the choice even easier. The company assessed
several sites throughout the country before settling on County

Nine years ago, Pope Francis gave the world the prophetic encyclical,
Laudato Si’: On Care for Our Common Home. Today, the call is more
urgent than ever. The crisis we face is not just environmental, it is
a social crisis too. When we mistreat our planet, the ones who suffer
first and worst are the poor and the most vulnerable in our
communities.
As Pope Francis reminds us: “We are faced not with two separate
crises, one environmental and the other social, but rather with one
complex crisis which is both social and environmental.” (LS, 139)
This is a call for an 𝐄𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧, a
deep change in heart and lifestyle. It means seeing every leaf, every
drop of water, and every person as connected.
