Blogging from an Enclosed Benedictine Novitiate
Thanks to a lovely comment on a recent post on this blog“, I have discovered the blog of the Benedictine Nuns of Saint Mary’s Abbey in Colwich, an enclosed order of Roman Catholic women following the Rule of St Benedict. Their blog is called Colwich Novitiate: A glimpse into the life of a Benedictine novitiate. Here’s what they wrote about their blog:
“We – the novitiate at Colwich Abbey in Staffordshire, UK – are eager to share something of our life with those who might be interested. So we asked, and our Novice Mistress gave us permission to set up a blog so that we can share with you a bit about the day-to-day life in our monastery.” (source)
I have added this blog to my “Blogs by Catholic Nuns” page.
There is also some very good information about Benedictine life and enclosure on the community’s web site. Click on Life at Colwich Today.

Neat link, thanks! They remind me of the sisters of Our Lady of the Rock on Shaw Island.
Another great find, Sr. !!!
Cool website. I didn’t get the chance to view it in detail. But when I peaked into some of the historical stuff I noticed that one of their early prioresses was a descendant of Sir Thomas More.
Seems like these ladies are blue bloods – or at least were at one time.
