WORSHIP AT IONA ABBEY
Part of our commitment when living in community on Iona is to join together in daily worship.
Staff and guests lead morning and evening services, focussing on welcome, justice and peace, healing, commitment and communion.
All are welcome to explore the worship spaces in and around the Abbey: the Abbey Church with its various chapels, St. Oran’s Chapel in the Relig Oran, and St. Michael’s Chapel facing east.
