At the General Chapter of the English Benedictine Congregation we welcomed three communities of nuns into the EBC. This more than doubles the number of convents of nuns in the English Benedictine Congregation and also increases our global reach, all three houses being located overseas.
General Chapter ran from 11th – 21st July, at Buckfast Abbey in Devon. The three convents who have joined us are Kylemore Abbey in Galway, Ireland, Mariavall Abbey near Malmo, Sweden, and Jamberoo Abbey near Woollongong, Australia. We welcome them to the English Benedictine Congregation and look forward to having the opportunity to meet them.
