Sancta Maria Abbey (Nunraw Abbey)

We are a small community of Roman Catholic monks of the Order of Cistercians of the Strict Observance [OCSO] dedicated to seeking God and following the Gospel in prayer and work.

We live a contemplative monastic life and so the main focus of our living is the celebration of the liturgy throughout the day, with periods for personal prayer and study combined with work.

Groups and individuals do use our premises for day retreats and even longer periods. Some of the guests ask to speak to one of the community if they have a need.
