Life and Work at our Peru Monastery

Belmont Webmaster • February 14, 2020

Abbot Paul has just got back from a visit to our monastery in Peru at Lurin, south of Lima. He found our monks to be in good spirit. They are an incredibly active group, growing vegetables and now producing many things for sale: honey, yoghurt, fruit juice and smoothies, panettone and pineapple  and fruit vinegar. See the pictures below, to see them at work and some of their products. Fr Alex will be over in the summer to lead some Icon workshops. Click on the images to see them in full.
