Honour 600 - St Hugh's House · 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 Hugh's House

We are supporting Face-Faw and ask for sponsorship.

Face-Faw has lots of charitable aims. For this, we mention four aims of Face-Faw, in Zanzibar, Romania, Ethiopia and South Africa.

First, in Zanzibar Face-Faw supports the Francis Maria Libermann School - they sponsor children and provide other help. St. Hugh's sponsors two students education fees each year. Secondly, we support orphans in Romania.  Thirdly, we 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.  Fourthly, we support the Amathuba Community in South Africa, sponsoring the education of two children. In the first three of these aims, recent leavers of Ampleforth have helped in recent months, or are helping at this time. In all about a dozen Amplefordians have been to help in these places since August 2007. Please help us more.

Inorder 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 Hugh'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 Hugh's to help Face-Faw - and to help people in need in Romania, Zanzibar, Ethiopia and South Africa - and in other projects.
