Warrenmount was originally the home of Nathaniel Warren, who became High Sheriff of Dublin in the late 1700’s. He named his residence “Warrenmount”.
On December 1st 1813, the Georgian House had become a Carmelite convent. At this time there was dreadful poverty in the area. The Carmelites started a school for children. In 1889 they asked the Pope for permission to return to full contemplative life. They were granted this request on the condition that the school be handed over to a community of Irish nuns.
On May 6th 1892 seven Presentation Sisters came to Warrenmount. The Presentation Sisters have served the local area since 1892.
