Friends of the Abbey of St Hildegard
An association of Friends of the Abbey of St Hildegard, which was founded in October 2001 by 40 public figures and has now already more than 200 members, have made it their task to support the cultural, spiritual and pastoral work of our convent in non-material as well as financial ways. These include:
- Promoting liturgy and Gregorian Chant and conveying these in our times;
- Preserving Benedictine values and passing them on;
- Offering hospitality with days of reflection, retreats and spiritual direction;
- Preserving St Hildegard of Bingen's heritage and supporting the research of her work;
- Preserving and caring for the abbey church and monastic buildings, which have been put under a preservation order.
We would like to invite you to join our circle of friends. We are open to anyone, for "where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I (Christ) in the midst of them." (Mt 18:20)
The Friends of the Abbey regularly organize talks, group discussions, concerts and other events. These events always offer opportunities to meet and exchange views. We would be pleased to send you the annual programme and – should you wish to become a member – the necessary application form. Please contact Sr Simone Weinkopf on:
