The prayer life of the monastic community is at the same time praise of God and intercession for all the needs of the Church and the world.
If you wish to entrust a special intention to our community’s prayer please fill the form below. Your prayer request will be read by the monks. We can unfortunately not commit to write a personal answer to all. But be sure of our brotherly consideration and support.
Welcome to the Abbey of Our Lady of Quarr, a monastery on the Isle of Wight, just off the south coast of England. It is home to a small group of Benedictine monks who strive to dedicate their lives to the glory of God, and whose day is characterised by prayer, work and community life.
Quarr Abbey is situated in an area of outstanding natural beauty. Visitors are welcome to attend worship in the Abbey Church. You can visit our gardens, take refreshment in our Tea Shop and find out about the monastery in our Visitor Centre. The Farm Shop offers home grown produce and the Monastery Shop religious articles, books and souvenirs. There is a new exhibition of the work of local artists every week in the gallery.
