The Benedictine monks of Ampleforth Abbey, North Yorkshire, have recently ventured into the world of audio media as they celebrate the release of an ‘Ampleforth Abbey Podcast’. Podcasts have risen in popularity over the years and the monks of the Abbey saw the perfect opportunity to spread God’s word, and insights from their journey of faith, to listeners across the globe.

Each week, a different member of the monastic community will deliver an episode of ‘Home Retreat’ offering a 10-15 minute reflection and an opportunity to pause and reflect wherever you are. Speaking about the new endeavour, Abbot Robert Igo said “It’s great to connect with new and evolving audiences… we believe the podcast provides us with an important opportunity to reach many people with the good news of the Gospel”.

The Ampleforth Abbey Podcast is available to listen to on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music and Google Podcasts.
