Our oblates are a group of men and women – married and single – who, within the framework of their daily lives in the world, find direction for their individual situations in the Rule of St Benedict. With an act of oblation they promise to affiliate themselves with our monastic community and share in our prayer and mission.

According to their circumstances, oblates participate in as much of the daily office as is possible for them. Our monastery offers retreat days to our oblate community three times a year, regular contact with newsletters and continuous spiritual direction by our Oblate Director, Sr Philippa Rath. If you are interested in finding out more about our oblate community, please contact Sr Philippa on:
