SOCIETY OF THE PRECIOUS BLOOD  SPB

 

 We are a contemplative community whose particular work within the whole body of Christ is worship, thanksgiving and intercession.  Within these ancient Abbey walls, which date back to 1266, we continue to live the Augustinian monastic tradition of prayer, silence, fellowship and solitude.  The Eucharist is the centre of our life, where we find ourselves most deeply united with Christ, one another and all for whom we pray.  The work of prayer is continued in the Divine Office, in the Watch before the Blessed Sacrament and in our whole life of work, reading, creating, and learning to live together. This life of prayer finds an outward expression in welcoming guests, who come seeking an opportunity for quiet and reflection in which to deepen their own spiritual lives, or to explore the possibility of a religious vocation.
