The Church needs your faith, your idealism and your generosity, so that she can always be young in the Spirit!
The Apostle Paul reminds us that each and every Christian has received a gift meant for building up the Body of Christ. The Church especially needs the gifts of young people, all young people. She needs to grow in the power of the Spirit who even now gives joy to your youth and inspires you to serve the Lord with gladness. Open your hearts to that power! I address this plea in a special way to those of you whom the Lord is calling to the priesthood and the consecrated life. Do not be afraid to say "yes" to Jesus, to find your joy in doing his will, giving yourself completely to the pursuit of holiness, and using all your talents in the service of others! Pope Benedict speaking at World Youth Day in Sydney on 20 July 2008 |

This website should give you some ideas about monastic life at Colwich.
If you want to know more, you can have a look at the Noviciate Blog. You can email the Novice Mistress. It would be helpful if you can tell something about yourself, and your attraction towards religious life.
