St Augustine's Abbey, Chilworth

For 2026 the monks are running the Abbot Paulinus Silver Jubilee Thanksgiving Appeal, aiming to raise £6,000 to fund six months of accompanying young men from poorer parts of South America who are discerning a Benedictine vocation (travel, pastoral visits and practical support), so that poverty does not decide whether someone can test a vocation.

Aylesford, United Kingdom

Aylesford Priory

The Friars is an independent charity that says it is not financially supported by the Catholic Church and costs over 2,000 pounds a day to keep open. A chapel roof repair program estimated at 350,000 pounds has begun, on top of continuous repairs to the medieval and modern buildings. Its 2024 accounts say the estate is too large to be maintained from local income alone.
