Title: Women Who Keep God's Vigil. The Glencairn Story.
Description: Dublin: Clonmore & Reynolds Ltd, 1964. 1st edition. "Gives a graphic sketch of the history of Cistercian nuns from the days of their origin; this includes the mystics of the Low Countries and Germany and the Abbess in Spain who ruled over several townships, wore a mitre and tried to hear the confessions of her nuns! We are also told of the hardships endured in founding Stapehill Abbey in England, from which Glencairn Abbey in Waterford was founded in 1932. Glencairn was a country-house with the ghost of a young woman, and became a monastery where live and labour these women whose lives are totally given to God."
