Matthew was delighted to attend the service of celebration at Edgware Abbey. Residents at Nihil House, local parishioners and nearby clergy all came together for this annual event.

Edgware Abbey continues to provide pastoral care for residents at Nihil House which was built as a care home. The nuns live under the Benediction tradition and are active in the Edgware community.

Matthew said: "It is always a pleasure to attend the service and this year was complemented by the presence of Bishop Peter and the Deputy Lieutenant, Martin Russell. Not everyone knows about the Abbey but it continues to play an important part in the civic life of Edgware."
