Benedictine Monks

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.

"This, above all,
to thy own self be true
And it must follow,
as night the day
Thou canst not then
be false to any man."

Shakespeare

We are happy to suggest for your on-going
reading of the Sacred Scriptures the
programme we ourselves follow at lauds
and vespers.

During this Holy Week, we propose for your meditation a Lenten Talk delivered at Newry Cathedral by Dom Mark-Ephrem M. Nolan OSB.
