The Carthusian Community of Parkminster

The Carthusian Community of Parkminster is a monastic monastery in England where monks follow a contemplative, prayer-centered life rooted in silence, solitude, and communal discipline. Founded in 1917, it belongs to the Carthusian Order—an ancient Catholic religious community dedicated to prayer, work, and simplicity. Monks live individually in small cells, dedicating their days to prayer, manual labor, and spiritual reflection, fostering a peaceful environment. The community emphasizes solitude and silence to deepen their connection with God, while maintaining communal support through shared worship and traditions.
