The relations Of Old between the Monastic Orders and the w w s O f u s parochial clergy ere al ay delicate , and the ld di fic ltie fi i x a‘ E oitor's p reface ‘ might eas ily recur . It i s therefore pleasant t o record ho w u niformly cordial my relations have been with the Abbot and a ll . W s the Community hen they fir t came here , having s n o r w neither prie t chapel , they ere obliged to come to the fo r B parish church Holy Communion . u t they did not content themselves with that . Though their many Ofli c e s took up much time , they yet came regularly to the Sunday s s s morning and evening ervice , ang in the Choir (one being s fo r f w organi t hal the time they ere here) , and helped in the S S . Of s as s fo r f unday chool One them tarted a Cl arm lads, w s ss u hich proved a great ucce , attracting a large n mber, and n bringi g many to Confirmation and Holy Communion .

This i s looking at the active Side o f Community life (na tural i s ts . to a parish prie t) , rather than at contemplative side Bu t f h m the act t at , though pri arily a Contemplative Order, they f s Of w n o t n have ound line active ork i compatible , even at s w s this early stage in their hi to ry , ith per onal spiritu al s fo r w development , hold out hope much definite practical ork when they have men trained and ready t o go where they are ld w i f .
