Missionary Sisters of the Holy Rosary (MSHR) is a Roman Catholic apostolic congregation of women religious founded by Bishop Joseph Shanahan CSSp (Irish born bishop in Nigeria) on 7 March 1924, in Killeshandra, County Cavan, Ireland.
[5] Due to the civil war the order had to leave Sierra Leone in 1994, and as a result the sisters moved to Gambia where refugees from the conflict had fled.
The original convent of the Holy Rosary in Killeshandra was bought by the sisters in 1924 and was formerly Drummully House.
[8] In 1991 the order participated with many other religious organisations in the establishment of the Kimmage Mission Institute (1991-2006) to combine their training efforts.
[10][12] In April 2023 a group called the pacesetters, of 21 former pupils from the class of 1986, of Our Lady of Lourdes College Mankon, in Cameroon,[13] which was celebrating its Diamond Jubilee, visited Ireland to thank the Nuns for their education.
