St. Monica's Priory is a community of Canonesses Regular of St. Augustine, now affiliated to the Lateran, dating back to the English monastery, St. Monica's which was founded in Louvain, Belgium in 1609. The congregation came to England in 1794. After living in various places, the nuns finally settled at the house of St. Augustine's Priory, Newton Abbot, South Devon. They are distinguished for their devotion of the Perpetual Adoration of the Most Blessed Sacrament, which was begun in 1859.
