Ampleforth Abbey
Ampleforth Abbey, North Yorkshire, is a monastery of Benedictine Monks in the English Benedictine Congregation. It claims descent from the pre-Reformation community at Westminster Abbey through the last surviving monk from Westminster Sigebert Buckley.
The monastery set up a school at Ampleforth in 1802. It is now a co-educational independent boarding school with around 600 students.
Parishes
In addition to the work at Ampleforth, some of the monks are sent as parish priests to parishes, mostly in Lancashire.
Ampleforth has a Permanent Private Hall at Oxford, primarily for the purpose of training priests and religious, but which also accepts some undergraduate students.
Saint Louis
Ampleforth set up a sister priory at St Louis, Missouri in 1955. The priory gained independence in 1973 and became a monastery in its own right in 1989.
Zimbabwe
In 1996, Ampleforth set up the community of Christ the Word in Zimbabwe.
