Following on from the traditions of community living laid down by the Benedictine Sisters who preceded us in the Priory, we too consider ourselves to be a small "religious" community. Christian, but ecumenical in the very broadest sense, we share our lives together and welcome amongst us a wide variety of groups of young people. We are not in the business of selling religion. What we do find is that many church groups find the atmosphere of Marrick Priory ideal for spending times of fellowship, retreat and reflection interspersed with a few more strenuous activities. We welcome groups of all denominations and all faiths. We believe fundamentally in dialogue and shared experience.
