Serving the Church beyond the cloister

From their foundation in Paris in 1615, the monks of Douai have always served the Church in England and beyond. Today, members of the community serve as parish priests in parishes across England and Wales, continuing that same outward-facing vocation that has characterised the English Benedictines for four centuries.
