About Family of Adoration Chapel

This house was built in the early 1800s by Mr William Ross of Ross’s Mill which was in Odessa Street at the back of the house.

In 1872 the Sisters of Bon Secours arrived from Dublin eventually moving here  in 1878. Their convent became a residential home for the sick and the elderly as well as assisting the De La Salle Brothers at Milltown and then on the Glen Road.

In 1975 during a peak in violence around Belfast, a car bomb caused serious damage to the home. The Sisters moved to a small convent in St. Agnes’ parish in 1978.

When the house was eventually repaired around 1980, the time of the Hunger Strike, a French Order of Nuns moved in. The Sisters of Adoration now reside here and mass service is held here in this small but cosy chapel on a daily basis with anyone welcome to join. Due to the earlier bomb damage this part was extended from the original plans therefore allowing that little bit more space for a chapel.
