Hyning - Community
“It is in community, in keeping with the desire of St. Benedict, that our search for God is lived out. A united community is a sign that Christ has come.”
A Broad Mix
We are a Community of 8 sisters, 1 of whom now resides in a local care home . The oldest sister is 98 and the youngest member is 38. This broad mix ensures a balance and richness in our community life together. Work and prayer form the basis of our life. We celebrate the Divine Office daily, it is sung 5 times a day.
None of us is perfect and we accept each other's weaknesses, knowing that we are stronger together, than alone. We are all involved in the work of the guesthouse in our different ways, from welcoming people at the door, domestic work and in retreat giving.
Stronger Together
All contribute to the life of the community, sharing their gifts and talents with all, for the service of God.
Hyning is the novitiate house for our English communities. Here, we welcome those who wish to commit their lives to the search for God through the monastic vocation. For more information, please see our vocation page.
