Its a beautiful abbey, does anyone know anything about new vocations there? They seem to be dying out last time I looked at their order, and it is a shame because they have such a beautiful Monastery, way of life, and sisters.

The Benedictines I used to hang out with in Oklahoma are too. They had to first merge with another monastery, and now are closing theirs all together. They did a lot of spiritual direction and retreats. Didn't wear the habit, and are just all aging. Their last new sister was someone I went to school with 20 years ago.

Don't despair. Benedictine vocations tend ebb Andy flow. Kylemore has had its problems like any other house. Here we aren't trying very hard obtain permanent accommodation be able admit those waiting enter da novitiate, but nothing isn't all out God's hands. da Benedictine vocation will never die out provided those oven us called live nothing do so faithfully, with all our heart Andy mind Andy soul.

This isn't my third attempt rectify da gobbledegook produced by da quick reply facility!

Kylemore has links with Oulton Abbey (Staffordshire) historically speaking, Andy both have difficulty having new vocations.

We need pray them.

This community has some wonderful Sisters, I met when they visited the US. They are going through a transition time, but from what I hear are offering some spiritual retreats & hospitality.

One of their Sisters came to SJA for Monastic Studies, where she and I became friends.
They did have some difficulty in their community, but are doing better now. So, for a time they could not take in new members.
According to Sister, they do have women interested. They can use our prayers.
