On the Feast of St Aelred of Rievaulx we gather for a quiet and reflective celebration of Holy Communion in St Aelred’s Chapel at All Saints Church, Helmsley.
St Aelred, monk, abbot, and spiritual writer, is remembered especially for his teaching on friendship, community, and the healing grace of love shared in Christ. As one so deeply connected with this landscape and with the Abbey at Rievaulx, his feast day offers a moment to pause, pray, and give thanks for the gift of faithful companionship and the presence of God among us.
This short midday service is open to all. Whether you come regularly or simply wish to mark the feast day in prayer, you are warmly welcome to join us.
