St. Hilda’s Chapel at historic Edgewood in Amherst, Virginia serves as the chapel for residents and retreatants visiting the house. The day hours are kept throughout the year, and clergy and lay people on retreat are invited to keep them. On request, members of the public may join the community in these ancient prayers.

As well, the chapel will be open for public worship and, on saint’s days, veneration of particular relics reposed there. These include many of early Christians, as well as one of the few first-class relics of the recently canonized St. John Henry Newman. As well, the chapel is open at various times as announced for prayer and meditation.

Before Lent 2020, we hope to have outdoor Stations of the Cross erected on the property. In addition, the Rosary is said on Wednesdays at 8:00 a.m. either in the chapel or outside, weather permitting.

St. Hilda’s chapel also is home to St. Hilda’s Press, a publisher of traditional, Anglo-Catholic books and tracts. The press and the chapel are both projects of the Bishop Charles C. Grafton Theological Institute, a tax-exempt organization dedicated to training clergy and providing educational opportunities and retreats for clergy and lay people. Information on how you can contribute to this work can be found elsewhere ion the site.

St. Hilda’s and Edgewood are a Nazareth House, part of the Nazareth House Apostolate at St. Simeon’s Skete in Taylorsville, Kentucky. http://www.nazarethhouseap.org/ While we differ somewhat in mission, we are firmly committed to the the calling to share each other’s experience of struggle and suffering and each other’s visions of hope, bearing witness in prayer. We are connected to God in prayer and to each other with God in intercession.  Please send requests for intercessory prayer to prayerrequest@sainthilda.org
