Honour 600-Croagh Patrick-St Dunstan's · 22 January 2008

Ampleforth Abbey is home to a community of Benedictine monks who welcome visitors into the Abbey for services, and to explore the extensive and stunning Abbey grounds. History & Heritage The Abbey Church and Visitor Centre offer a fascinating insight into a living monastic community. Founded in 1802, the Benedictine community at Ampleforth Abbey is the largest community of monks in the UK. The Abbey Church is filled with furniture, sculpture, and glass from skilled crafts people, including local oak craftsman Robert ‘Mousey’ Thompson. Retreats Our comfortable retreat facilities offer space to rest, reflect and relax away from the routine of everyday life. This place of prayer offers spiritual nourishment for those who seek it. All are warmly welcomed, whether part of a group, for a conference or your own personal retreat. Tea Room Home-made refreshments are available including hot meals and cakes, tea, coffee, and cold drinks including our Ampleforth Abbey apple juice and cider. Outside seating offers stunning views across the Ampleforth valley, and there is baby changing, children’s menu, and plenty of space to park buggies. Explore the Grounds The Ampleforth estate covers 1,200 acres of lakes and woodland in the Howardian Hills National Landscape, with the North York Moors National Park to the north. We welcome walkers and cyclists throughout the year.

Story

Please support us in St Dunstan's House

We in St Dunstan's are supporting Face-Faw and ask for sponsorship. Face-Faw is of course us, all of us at Ampleforth. It is us supporting the needs of the world.

Face-Faw has lots of aims, to support the needs of the world.  We may help any of the work of Face-Faw.

I mention three aims of Face-Faw, in Zanzibar, Romania and Ethiopia, upon which this sponsorship will be largely concentrating.

First, in Zanzibar Face-Faw supports the Francis Maria Libermann School, a school of the Catholic Diocese of Zanzibar. Face-Faw sponsors 25 children in the school, it has provided £2,000 exercisse books, and about £1000 pencils. At this time two recent girl leavers are helping in the Francis Maria Libermann School.

Second, Face-Faw supports orphans in Romania. We of Face-Faw support two charities involved in this work, both charities with links to recent Ampleforth leavers, Peter Sidgwick and Dominic McCann.  In recent months several leavers have helped with one of these charities. 

Thirdly, Face-Faw support a school and the work of the nuns of the Missionary of Charity [nuns of Mother Theresa] helping the poor and dying in Ethiopia.  In the last 9 months, about 10 Amplefordians have helped here, and at the moment 4 are about to go there. 

Please help.

In order to help, Face-Faw have planned Honour the 600. Honour the 600 is on 21 February 2008 - the whole school will read on the theme of honour for 10 hours or 600 minutes.  Each House will read for 60 minutes. 

We ask you to sponsor us in St Dunstan's House [Each House has a sponsorship page]. 

By using this site, you ensure support. It is totally secure and simple. Through Ampleforth Abbey, Face-Faw will receive this funds very fast. If you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your sponsorship at no cost to you.

Please help us in St Dunstan's to help Face-Faw - and to help people in need in Romania, Zanzibar and Ethiopia.

Thank you so much for your support.
