Prayer is central to the life of our Community and it is that from which all-else flows. Times of silence within the Convent contribute towards a deeper atmosphere of prayer. We make time daily for personal prayer and spiritual reading. Together we worship in a pattern of four daily services, a daily Eucharist and regular periods of meditation. As Sisters we are involved in pastoral work, spiritual direction and welcoming guests and visitors.

We still have a number of other quiet days and spiritual workshops planned for 2011. A full programme is below. The Quiet days run from 10am until 4.30pm and cost £12, payable in advance. You will need to bring a packed lunch when attending, but all drinks will be provided by the Community. To book please contact the Secretary at the address below. Circle Dance retreats will continue at Belsey Bridge Conference Centre during 2011 at a cost of £140. Please indicate if you have any dietary requirements when booking.

We are always pleased to share the rhythm of our life with any who are interested – so why don’t you ‘come and see’!
