Sister Nuala Kelly Honoured with BEM

On 16th June 2023, Sister Nuala Kelly, a Daughter of Charity from the Irish Province, was named in the King’s Birthday Honour’s list and awarded a BEM (British Empire Medal) for her tireless services to the people of Belfast, particularly in the areas of education and healthcare. This recognition underscores her dedicated contributions and unwavering commitment to her community.


Sister Nuala received her medal at Hillsborough Castle in October 2023. The ceremony was memorable, celebrating her achievements and the positive impact she has made over the years.


On 8th May 2024, Sister Nuala had the honour of being a guest at Buckingham Palace, where she met King Charles himself. The photos from the event capture the joy and significance of the day. Accompanying her was Sister Bernadette Ryder, who shared in the celebration of this prestigious accolade.
