On July 16, 2021, the feast of St Anne and the Foundation Day of the Convent in Monaghan, the remains of our Irish Foundress, Mother Genevieve Beale, were reverently and carefully exhumed and reburied in the Convent cemetery. This is where Genevieve was originally buried in 1878. Upon her death, she was laid in a triple coffin in the hope of her later resting in front of the altar of the planned Convent Chapel. The Chapel was built in 1885 and in 1892, 14 years after her death, Genevieve ‘s remains were moved there.
