The Roman calendar indicates the feast of St. Benedict on July 11th.
Like many European monasteries, we celebrate St. Benedict on March 21st,
corresponding to his death. This charcoal sketch if by Fr. Alexis
Foyo. He also sells other framed sketches (11 X 12) for $60.00
each: Head of the Virgin, Head of Christ and The Virgin Holding the Dead
Christ. Fr. Martin and Br. Raphael attended the 1200th
anniversary of St. Meinrad at the Archabbey. On July 21st, the presiding
bishop of the Episcopal Church, The Most Rev. Frank Griswold, spent
a few days retreat. Five monks took some time during the month to visit
their families. The hay harvest was late but abundant.

hours in the orchard under the direction of Br. John to trim the
infected fruit trees. The picture shows them with some of the monks:
