Downside Vocation

Downside Vocation This is the official website of Downside Abbey's Vocations Director. We sing the Psalms in English, but have Latin antiphons.

Downside Abbey is a community of 24 Benedictine monks, founded in 1606 in the Spanish Netherlands (modern day France) and now resident near Bath in south west England. Our life is focused on the celebration of the Divine Office (the official prayer of the Catholic Church) and Mass, for which we gather together six times a day. The Mass is in English (except the Gregorian chant), but once a week we

celebrate Mass in Latin according to the novus ordo. We run a number of parishes near the monastery and further away, as well as a boarding school. We also receive guests for individual retreats and run courses in aspects of Catholicism.
