Pictures from the past

Three members of the Irish Alexian community, Brother Luke Polding, Brother Dermot O'Leary and Brother Dominic Walsh, visited the Alexians in Hungary in February 2013. During their stay, they visited the Benedictine Abbey of Pannonhalma, founded in 996, one of Hungary's outstanding historical sites and centres of ecclesiastical and artistic history. The picture shows the beautiful library of the abbey, which is still growing and currently holds 400,000 books.
