Mexico Visit 2025

 

Mexico Visit

Last October, brothers Richard, Michael and Daniel travelled to Mexico to visit our Mexican Benedictine Sisters, whom we have known for 49 years. It is always a deep joy to be with them. The smiles and warmth of this faithful relationship was immediately renewed by being greeted at the airport by the new counsel sisters.

While there the brothers visited numerous communities including a house where sisters who need more specialized care live together. Their community life of prayer and presence is an inspiration for us.             

With much love they remain present to us as both communities continue to witness to a way of life that is rooted in the Gospels and the wisdom of the Rule of Benedict.

Fall Season Video

We invite you to see the beauty we enjoyed during this year's foliage season. With a drone's help, we get a "view from above" of the Priory and the forest that surrounds us. May the beauty offered by the trees encourage us to honor and protect this and all gifts of nature.

Here is a link for the video:
