Sanctuary helps the heart of humanity to beat with love, hope, and peace.
Sanctuary is God’s plan, a sacred place of love, hope, and peace where all people can gather together to grow spiritually. Lorna has been shown a future for humanity where everyone can see and speak to angels just as she can, a future in which our world has been turned into a little glimpse of heaven.
A sacred place for all people of the world.
When Lorna was a child, God showed her visions of a sacred place with old iron gates and stone pillars, a place that would become very important in the world one day, helping humanity to grow spiritually and connect back to the soul.
This is Sanctuary. A beacon of light and hope for the world, Sanctuary welcomes everyone, of all beliefs and none, to gather together and grow spiritually. Every person who steps through Sanctuary’s gates can feel the power of love that dwells here, and all at once they know they have come to a sacred place.
Lorna talks of Sanctuary as God’s plan. She didn’t know how it would come about, or when, but she knew it would eventually happen because God told her it would.
Decades after Lorna’s first vision of Sanctuary, by the grace of many miracles, a few of Lorna’s friends who deeply believed in her work stumbled upon an old, long-abandoned property in the hills of Thomastown, Ireland.
It was the house from Lorna’s visions.
A sacred place for all people of the world.

This is Sanctuary. A beacon of light and hope for the world, Sanctuary welcomes all people from all countries of the world, of all beliefs and none, to gather together and grow spiritually. When people come here and walk through those gates, they find the hope, peace, and love they’ve been searching for, and they can instantly feel the sacredness of this place. Something “more” is here, something pure and beautiful that speaks to your soul.

The vision is coming to life.
The beautiful, abandoned early Georgian estate called “Kilfane” was in a state of disarray and decay, nearly unsalvageable after years of being left untouched. Surrounded by a rolling landscape, ancient forest and babbling streams, the estate’s gates had been locked shut for decades.
Lorna’s son, Niall (Owen in the books), spent the next several years leading the restoration of Sanctuary, bringing its many protected historical structures back from the brink, including the beloved Kilfane House.
The surrounding gardens, ancient forest, lake, and streams were carefully nurtured and restored after being choked and suppressed by many decades of neglect, allowing nature to return an abundance of precious wildlife to Sanctuary’s land and ancient forest.
These restorations have only been made possible by the generosity of a small number of donors and supporters who share Lorna’s vision and deeply believe in the value of her spiritual work.
Lorna has always said that the right people will come, at the right time, and give with a pure heart.
Today, we continue building and expanding, guided by the beautiful future Lorna has seen for this sacred place. She sees Sanctuary growing, offering spiritual learning and enlightenment to all who visit, and “busloads of people” coming here from all countries of the world.
But there’s much more work to be done before that can happen.
The tireless work continues at Sanctuary as we grow, carefully aligning with Lorna’s vision, deeply rooted in nature, love, empathy, and soulful purpose.
"Although I can’t tell you everything that will happen here, I can tell you that Sanctuary will be a very important place of peace and love in the world. This is where it all begins, the spiritual evolution of humanity, and I can’t wait for us to make our world a little glimpse of heaven."

At Sanctuary, the light of hope shines.
We are living at a moment in time when our world needs spiritual growth more than ever. Many of us are searching for a glimpse of hope, a sign that humanity is moving in the right direction.
A way back to empathy, compassion, and forgiveness.
The quiet truth at the heart of Lorna’s work is the unseen healing and enlightenment that happens at Sanctuary, in the way God grants it. For some people, the healing is about reconnecting to the soul. For others, it’s about finding and holding the light of hope again.
This is a sacred and blessed place. A powerful sense of love covers the land, offering a glimpse into what the world could one day be. Something “more” is here, something pure and spiritual that speaks to the soul, and every person who steps through Sanctuary’s gates can feel it in their own way.
Little miracles happen everywhere here, and these moments of love and healing go out into the world, helping the light of hope to grow brighter. And this is only just the beginning.
Lorna says, “Sanctuary is a beacon of hope to go right across the world for everyone, regardless of what they believe or what they don’t believe. God has taken down the boundaries. It’s such a beacon, and that beacon shines straight up into the heavens and sends out this light of hope right across the world to everyone.”
Sanctuary will be here in the world for hundreds years and more, helping humanity connect back to the soul, that spark of light of God within us all, allowing us to become the spiritual beings we are.
“This old house, this land, all of this… this is what God chose. I didn’t choose any of it. God did, and that’s what makes it sacred. This is all God’s plan, and you are a part of that plan.”
