A blessed Feast of St Benedict! | Across the world today, Benedictine communities, oblates, schools, parishes, and friends give thanks for the witness of St Benedict - a witness of listening, prayer, stability, hospitality, humility, and hope.
As we continue our Jubilee journey, we give thanks not only for a history behind us, but for a living tradition still bearing fruit today.
How are you celebrating this Feast?

Where in the world will your Jubilee pilgrimage begin? Tell us your wishlist pilgrimage locations!
As part of the Benedictine Jubilee journey, Pilgrim Passports are being created to mark your journey to Benedictine monasteries around the world. Over these four years, we hope many people will make a pilgrimage: near or far, alone or with others, to a monastery they know well or one they have never visited before.
Step away from the noise. Walk through doors that have been open for centuries, and encounter a way of life that has offered prayer, stillness, hospitality, and hope to every generation since 529.

The Benedictine Confederation has launched a new website as the Church begins a four-year "Journey to Jubilee" leading to the 1,500th anniversary of the founding of Monte Cassino in 2029.

[The Jubilee Road] [The Way of St Benedict] Norcia, 480 AD.
In this mountain town in Umbria, St Benedict and St Scholastica were born. The first quiet beginnings of lives that would help shape centuries of Christian prayer, community, and hope.
Before Montecassino, the Rule and the places of hope that would spread across the world, there was Norcia: a place of beginnings.
In 2026, the Benedictine Jubilee journey begins here with the theme Awaken.
This year invites us to return to the roots: to remember with gratitude, to take stock honestly, and to open our hearts again to Christ’s call.
When and where were you baptised - and do you recognise the greatness of that moment?
Where has God been at work since then?
What are you remembering with gratitude?
Where are you being called to awaken?

PAX! Today we warmly welcome the monks of The Community of St Gregory The Great (formerly at Downside) to live with us at Belmont. We pray that this time of discernment together may be blessed by an openness to the Holy Spirit and guided by the Rule of our Holy Father Benedict.

The shape of the Church to come: @austeni in @The_Tablet: “Synodality allows us, at this time of crisis and change, to listen deeply and discern faithfully, to receive the new horizons of the Spirit while distinguishing them from the spirit of the age. This is who we are, how we act. Synodality is deeply, essentially Catholic.” thetablet.co.uk/features/2/2…

We are calling on Catholics in England and Wales to unite in prayer and compassionate action to oppose assisted suicide.

Depressing but entirely predictable that assisted dying returns to Parliament before any serious attempt whatsoever to address the dire social care crisis.

Good morning from the heart of Wales. A great day to pray the Office of Readings:
“…there is a great silence on earth today, a great silence and stillness. The whole earth keeps silence because the King is asleep.”

A dear, wise and funny man. My headmaster for a time but I knew him best as abbot. “Tell me how you spend your time each day,” he told me once, “and I’ll tell you what is important to you”. I’ve never forgotten that examination of conscience. RIP, Abbot Stephen.
