 elcome to Quarr Abbey which is a monastery: the home of Benedictine monks. The community at Quarr seek to live a life given to the glory of God, through prayer, work and fellowship. The monks gather together in the beautiful yet austere church to worship; celebrating Holy Mass, praying the psalms or listening to the Word of God. |
You are welcome to this house of prayer. Share with the community in the celebration of Divine Worship or simply spend time in prayer and silent meditation. Quarr Abbey is a place of peace. May all who come to the Abbey find in their hearts the peace of Christ, the source of true happiness.

Special extended visits can be organised for school parties.
