Our Life and Ministry

‘Abide in me and I in you’ John 15:4

Our daily life is a balance of prayer, community life and service of others. Each day we are rooted and grounded in God through our prayer which lies at the heart of our life and gives meaning to the whole.

In our community life we seek to live together in love and unity, sharing in the domestic work of the house, in recreational activities and hospitality.

Our ministry is very varied and includes preaching and parish work; spiritual direction and the leading of retreats and quiet days; care of the elderly; work amongst prisoners, asylum seekers and those with learning difficulties.

As a Community we have always sought to hold together both the contemplative and active dimensions of life, believing that each needs the other to complete the whole.
