Many Australian MSC have visited Leap, Western Cork (on the tip of Ireland, next stop, America). Some visited when Myross Wood was the Novitiate – in the past and again, in 2017, as the international novitiate with Jim Miller MSC as novice director. Some visited when it became a retreat centre.

After 74 years of ministry, it has now closed and plans are in progress for the future of the building and the estate– but somewhat delayed by covid-19 in Ireland.
