Visit to Mexico 2024

The friendship with our Mexican Benedictine Sisters has been a blessing of almost 50 years. The pandemic had interrupted our annual mutual visits, but since last year we were able to resume the good tradition. We have a new video to share with you the joy of the most recent visit. This link brings you to our Video Blog:

August - December 2023 Events

In August 2023 we received the visit of Brother Bruno (4th from the left) of Mount Saviour Monastery in Elmira NY, for a few days. Our two communities have been friends since the 1950s stemming from the friendship of our founders, our brother Leo Rudloff and Father Damasus Winzen

In September we received the visit of brother Elias' family: (l to r) sisters Barbara and Arlene, and cousin Tom and his wife, Paulette. As always with them, we enjoyed lively exchanges

October 28, 2023 Oblate Meeting: (l to r) Betsy Shields, who made her oblation at our midday prayer, and brother Elias, Maria Guarino and Lee Zortman

 Beginning in mid-December 2023, the Green Mountain National Forest which abuts our Priory land began a forest management cutting to enhance animal habitats and promote healthy forest land. A side benefit for us was the renewed view of the mountains to the west of the Priory.

 

The Many Nature Gifts

Here at the Priory we are blessed with many gifts that Nature brings us through every season. Even when we interact with it - growing flowers and vegetables, caring for animals and the grounds - ultimately all is pure gift. To watch the 6 min video, please click this link.
