BLESSING OF THE MONKS’ INFIRMARY

Buildings at Downside live many lives in the course of their history. St Cecilia’s was named because it was formerly the Music school. Prior to that it had been the Bursary. Originally it was known as the Dairy (though it is hard to think how cows could have got in).

Now it has been redecorated and equipped to serve as an infirmary for the monastic community when they need more sustained nursing attention. It was formally blessed by the Abbot at the end of the Retreat.

Sr Rose is photographed with the team of staff who will assist her.
