Welcome to

Boarbank Hall

Home to the Canonesses of St Augustine

We are a Community of Catholic Religious Sisters sharing a life of prayer and hospitality.  Read about us, our news, service times and find out more about St Augustine and our vocation.
Welcoming you to our Guest House is at the heart of who we are and what we do. We welcome bookings from parish, school or student groups. You may also be interested in our residential events.
The Sisters and Staff adopt a simple philosophy of care: each person has the right to be loved, listened to, understood and respected. We provide nursing and spiritual care & activities. Join our team.

“We begin by imagining that we are giving to them; we end by realising that they have enriched us.”

Pope John Paul II
