Welcome from Abbot Paul

Abbot Paul Stonham • March 29, 2020
Welcome to our website on behalf of our brethren at Belmont, Peru and the Parishes that we serve.

In these difficult times we hope you will find this website a good way to connect with us. We may not be able to open our Church doors at this current time, but the Belmont Community will continue to pray for all those suffering and in need, particularly our parish, oblates, retreatants and friends.
Once things return to normal we hope you will be able to visit us in person. For now, whether you are near or far, be assured of our prayers,
Abbot Paul
