Spirituality & Prayer

The core mission of Christian monastics rooted in Benedictine spirituality is to pass on the message of revelation and the teaching of Jesus simply by living authentically as a contemplative community. Centred on God the Creator, the Sisters of the Monastery of the Immaculate Conception at Kylemore Abbey support each other in their vocation, encourage each other, hold each other to account, open for the stranger, inviting others sharing the life of the community with others.

According to the Rule of St Benedict, the monastic community welcomes people who are not monks or nuns into their spiritual space and shares something of the spiritual support they experience. To live the contemplative Benedictine life, including its outreach in hospitality, is essential for the community to flourish. Many thousands of people avail themselves of this opportunity to share in the Benedictines’ spiritual life by asking for prayers to be offered on their behalf.
PRAYER REQUESTS: Requests for prayer, made through direct contact, or by post or online are welcomed, and the community will endeavour to respond to all requests. If you have a special intention, or would like the nuns to remember you in their daily prayers, please email: pray@kylemoreabbey.ie
