On Saturday 5th May, Br Joseph Benedict Donleavy will make his Solemn Profession of vows in the Abbey Church at 11.30 Mass. He has been with the community since January 2014, was clothed in May of the same year, and was Simply Professed in April 2015. A Solemn Profession is one of the most important events in the life of a community, and so at this time we ask for your prayers, that the Lord may continue to bless our monastery and keep us faithful and obedient to his voice, which calls us daily.
In order to accommodate the longer liturgy, Mass will be slightly earlier this Saturday - if you were planning to join us in person, or via live streaming, please be aware of this change of time. Mass will begin at 11.30am, rather than the usual time of 12.45pm. Keep an eye on the website for a review of the day!
