St.Augustine's Abbey Mass Times

Denomination: Roman Catholic

Welcome to St Augustine's Abbey, Chilworth

A living Roman Catholic Benedictine monastery near Guildford in southern England, United Kingdom, about an hour from London. We are under one mile south of The Pilgrims' Way.

We are an active and growing community of monastic brothers lovingly living the Rule of St Benedict. We very much welcome and encourage new visitors and guests; pilgrims and members of the public are welcome to join us for the celebration of Holy Mass and daily prayers. LOOK WITHIN: we welcome questions and visits from men wanting to know more about becoming a Benedictine monk.
