Closed time and Mass times change.

In August we normally close for a few weeks. So we are now closed to resident guests except for family visits etc to give the community a bit of a break until the 21st August. Mass is now at 9 am until the 19th August, but Office times remain the same. People are still welcome to come to pray with us and say hello.

Mass for the 40th Anniversary of the Dedication of the Church and the 50th jubilee of the founding of Hyning.

On the 19th of September, Bishop Paul Swarbrick, Bishop of Lancaster, celebrated the Mass for the 50th anniversary of the foundation of Hyning Monastery and 40 years of the Dedication of the Church. Fr. Anthony Keefe, our chaplain, gave the homily. There were several priests, religious sisters, consecrated persons and deacons of the diocese, family, friends, former students and staff of our former schools in England. Some of the sisters and priests were there for the original blessing in 1984 and Sr. Michelle Marie, one of the 4 foundresses were also able to be here. We were also pleased to welcome our sisters from La Plaine in France and from Brownshill.
