Please share - thank you!
Fr Abbot has a friend in Mexico 🇲🇽 who produces hand-made altar linen and albs using traditional craftsmanship. The Abbey in Chilworth has just received a beautiful altar cloth from this man, and it will be used for the first time at 9 am Mass on 13 May 2021 the Solemnity of the Ascension. If anyone is interested in commissioning something from the same workshop in Mexico, please send enquiries via our website contact us page https://www.chilworthbenedictines.com/contact-us
