A new expression of monasticism

Founded in the tradition of the Episcopal Church, with a Celtic spirit,  Anamchara Fellowship has received canonical recognition by the House of Bishops’ Committee on the Religious Life. We are an inclusive community, welcoming all people: clergy and lay, married, single, or partners in a committed relationship. Members of the Fellowship may live in their own homes or in groups as the ability for that arises. Each member must be self-supporting, and we are bound to each other by common ideals and a commitment to prayer and service. Our primary ministries focus on retreats and quiet days, pastoral care, intercessory prayer and spiritual direction.
