A new Altar in the Monastery

During Lent, thanks to the assistance of friends and local craftsmen and women, a new altar just outside our Chapter Room was completed using a venerable altar stone entrusted to the Monastery.

Dedicated to Blessed Ildephonse Schuster OSB (a relic of whom, together with one of Saint Rosealine of Villeneuve, rest on the gradine) the altar facilitates the convenient and dignified celebration of private Masses when necessary. On Good Friday, following the Mass of the Presanctified, a relic of the True Cross was placed on the altar for the private veneration of the Community.

May God bless and reward all those who assisted in the realisation of this altar.
