Fr Abbot has just returned from St Cecilia’s Abbey, Ryde,  http://www.stceciliasabbey.org.uk where he preached the annual retreat. His theme was the Christian Altar, using the rites of dedication as a peg on which to hang various themes of monastic spirituality and practice.

A visiting priest recently asked if we were ‘twinned’ in some way with Ryde!

We are not ‘twinned’, but we do enjoy a strong friendship with the community there. Our abbot has received the last two Solemn Professions, we have collaborated on several publications, and support each other with prayer and such mutual help as we are able to give.
