The community at St Alexius Knock, Co. Mayo was set up in 2008. At present the house serves three purposes.

1. Administration of the Region.

2. House of Formation.

3. Hospitality and befriending.

We live a simple life style and work on our small holding growing vegetables in our garden and polytunnel. We also keep hens and ducks which supply the house with fresh eggs and we have three goats.

We aim to have the house as environmentally friendly as possible. We have a ground source heating system and the water is heated by solar.
