March 7, 2026: Today our monastic community rejoices with gratitude as we celebrate the 100th birthday of our beloved Sister Irene de Cock. We give thanks to God for the gift of her life and for her faithful perseverance in the monastic vocation over so many years—68 years in religious life. Her steadfast dedication to prayer and community life stands as a beautiful example for all the monks and nuns of our Order. On this joyful day, we assure her of our gratitude, our affection, and our prayers, asking the Lord to continue to bless her with peace and strength.
