Convent Closed for Building Work

Convent Closed for Building Work

13 January 2025 31 March 2025

Between mid-January and March we will be closing the main Convent for major work to improve our heating system, which will make it ecologically friendly, more effective and affordable in the long-term. Sadly, this means that we will be unable to take guests at the Convent or Michaelgarth during this period. We look forward to welcoming you all back for a warmer and greener celebration when we re-open.

Volunteers on the land are welcome as normal, although please be advised that parking will be limited.

Guests are still welcome for the Eucharist (but not the Offices); please email Sr. Elizabeth at to let us know that you are coming. Please note that you will need to park on the Sacristy drive and enter by the Sacristy door, which has three steps. If you normally see a sister for spiritual accompaniment, please contact them directly to make suitable arrangements. 

Arrangements around Easter services will be posted on the website at a later date. 

For any further enquires regarding your stay or visits arranged during this time, please email us. We will be in touch with any guests who have made advanced bookings as soon as possible. We are grateful for your patience and support as we work towards making our life sustainable and fit for the future here.
