In the late twenties it was then utilised as a  Mother And Babies home, which it is believed was closed in the early 1930's.

Formed in 1990 following a suggestion by Fr Pat Mulcahy, Shannon Apostolic Society has held its last exhibition of work and is closing after 33 years of service during which time its members have crafted sacred vessels and vestments for use on the missions.
According to Mai Farrell, the society’s members have embroidered and created  vestments and sell various items to raise funds for missionary priests.
It’s a sad time for Mai and the other loyal members, as she says herself, “Nobody will take over from me so this is our last exhibition”.</image:caption></image:image></url><url><loc>https://photos.clarechampion.ie/image/I0000NZfixstV0oA</loc><image:image><image:loc>https://photos.clarechampion.ie/img-get2/I0000NZfixstV0oA/fit=1000x1000/KIB-V-Liscannor-19-10-08-096.jpg</image:loc><image:title>Senior County Football final at Ennis</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://photos.clarechampion.ie/image/I0000_s5mfxocv5M</loc><image:image><image:loc>https://photos.clarechampion.ie/img-get2/I0000_s5mfxocv5M/fit=1000x1000/KIB-V-Liscannor-19-10-08-085.jpg</image:loc><image:title>Senior County Football final at Ennis</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://photos.clarechampion.ie/image/I0000BLOqXh0Flqo</loc><image:image><image:loc>https://photos.clarechampion.ie/img-get2/I0000BLOqXh0Flqo/fit=1000x1000/KIB-V-Liscannor-19-10-08-083.jpg</image:loc><image:title>Senior County Football final at Ennis</image:title></image:image></url><url><loc>https://photos.clarechampion.ie/image/I0000T50O64LzIQg</loc><image:image><image:loc>https://photos.clarechampion.ie/img-get2/I0000T50O64LzIQg/fit=1000x1000/SCC-Clare-V-Galway-10-7-10-009.jpg</image:loc><image:title>Gala All-Ireland Senior Camogie Championship at Corofin</image:title><image:caption>Clare manager Patsy Fahey during the Gala All-Ireland senior championship game at Corofin.
