Thread on Benedictine's in England part 2!
4 more RC women's communities today

Firstly Holy Trinity Monastery, Herefordshire.

Many of you will know @Digitalnun from Twitter.
They have a charism for reaching people via the internet other other things

The Sisters of the Blessed Virgin Mary are a Benedictine community within the Ordinariate.
They were received into the Catholic Church 2013.

They have a beautiful website which includes the story of their journey

Tyburn in London- near where many of the English martyrs were killed.
They have Perpetual Adoration.

Among Benedictine's they are unusual as they take their Vow of Stability to the Congregation rather than to the community

Then my community, Minster Abbey.
We are an international community (11 nuns from 7 countries).

Our charism is one of simplicity, down-to-earthness, manual work, hospitality & ecumenism.

I didn't mention the male communities,
Anglican communities or
Cistercian communities (who are a reform of the Benedictines)

There is a list of the enclosed female communities in England and Wales here

If you feel God maybe calling you to a life lived for
Him alone, a life in community, praying the Divine Office, personal prayer, hospitality, a Benedictine life

then what next?

I'd say look at website, Google communities and get in touch.

Many monasteries are closed to visitors due to the pandemic bute you can still get to know something of the community through other means and you can get hlp with your discernment.

And pray of course
