Cobh, County Cork, Ireland
A small enclosed community of Tyburn Benedictine nuns who keep eucharistic adoration in Admiralty House, a building of the mid-1880s at The Mount, Cobh, overlooking Cork Harbor.
The community's own appeal says the house is being seriously undermined by water getting in through the disintegrating lime render, and that roofs and chimneys need work; in February 2026 the Irish Examiner reported that the building needs extensive repairs, including re-rendering of the exterior walls. Help would go to these repairs to the house where the six nuns live and pray.
Before you act. The community's current appeal names no target figure; the only published sum is a 2019 heating estimate from an earlier appeal. Contact the priory directly before giving.

Murroe, Ireland
Ahead of its 2027 centenary the abbey asks for regular gifts, larger donations to the Glenstal Development Fund for capital projects, and bequests, saying the estate and buildings need investment and upgrading. A four-year restoration of the castle exterior has been completed, and 2026-2027 is set aside for planning further work on the campus.
Ballintubber, Ireland
The east wing of the cloister has been derelict, and the Ballintubber Abbey Trust has worked since 2008 to rebuild it. Works began in 2026 on a project reported at 6.4 million euros to restore the east wing as a three-story culture and heritage visitor center and to conserve the chapter house and cloister, backed by a 5.842 million euro state grant. The abbey asks for donations to maintain and restore the abbey and its grounds and to support the new East Wing Visitor and Heritage Center.
