Abbatial Blessing in England!

[Anselm]

Dom Xavier Perrin OSB was last week blessed as the fifth Abbot of the Abbey of Our Lady of Quarr on the Isle of Wight by Philip Egan, the Bishop of Portsmouth. It's wonderful news and great for the future of the community.

Quarr was built by the monks of Solesmes when they fled France in the early 20th Century. Photos of the Abbatial Blessing are here: http://www.portsmouthdiocese.org.uk/abbatialblessing.php
