Journey with Us
Pray with Us

Thank you for visiting our website.

Our Benedictine Community arrived to Rostrevor in Northern Ireland from the Abbey of Bec in France in January 1998. Our coming to Northern Ireland is a response to a call addressed by the Church to monasteries of contemplative life to engage themselves in the mission of spiritual ecumenism, rooted in prayer, conversion of heart and charity, in those corners of the world where Christians are divided.
 
"Christian unity will not be accomplished by human power or human cleverness alone. It will be accomplished only by the poverty and humility of the cross. The Christian who truly seeks unity must embrace the cross."

Archbishop John R. Quinn
