Around 150 people attended a farewell event on Friday night for three sisters whose convent in Boyle is closing after 23 years.
The Sisters of Mercy have run the Galilee Spirituality Centre since 2001, but it's shutting because of a drop in vocations.
The three remaining Sisters - Mae, Margaret and Olive - will leave on Friday.

A 'thank you' event for them was held in Ballinafad, near Boyle, last Friday night.
Our reporter, Eoghan Murphy, first spoke to Sister Olive, who told him how pleased she was with the turnout.
