Benedictine Nuns of Holy Trinity Monastery, East Hendred

Sharing a Vocation . . .

We, the Benedictine nuns of Holy Trinity Monastery, East Hendred, invite you to explore this web site to learn something about the monastic way of life.

For fifteen hundred years Benedictine monks and nuns have been seeking God through lives of prayer and service. In every generation that tradition has to be realised anew. Today we unite with us in the search for God all who touch our lives in some way:

• those joined to us by a special bond as Oblates, Associates and Friends;
• those who share our life as guests;
• the blind, visually impaired and housebound who make use of our Veilaudio service;
• those who surf our pages anonymously or ask our prayers through the Prayerline.

Whatever your reason for visiting our site, we hope you will find something that will be a blessing to you.

Blogs: Colophon and iBenedictines

Our old blog was called Colophon and had grown too big and unwieldy to be continued in its original form. We have retained it as an archive with an unchanged structure and permalinks, so you should still be able to find items you have bookmarked. You can reach it by going through the blog page, where you will also find a link to our new blog, iBenedictines. iBenedictines can be read on this site or at its standalone address, www.ibenedictines.org. There is also a version optimized for use on small screens.
