Mount Saviour Monastery

March 2008
Ice Storm

News:
Our trees were decorated by an ice storm.  The sun was shining and the trees were sparkling with ice on top of the branches.  Unfortunately, there was a price for that beauty.  More than 10,000 homes lost their electricity.  Our small generator gave us a minimum supply of power for almost 3 full days.  Now we understand better the countries that are ravaged by war.  So much depends on electricity even in a monastery that tries to be self-sufficient.  
Fr. Daley, sjFr. Brian Daley, s.j. from Notre Dame University gave us our annual retreat dealing with some of the Fathers of the Church.  On Sunday, March 9th, he gave a lecture to the Friends of the Monastery.  The crowd appreciated his expertise on authors that are not familiar to the faithful.

Coming Events:
Lambing
is planned around April 15th.  It lasts about 3 weeks.

6th Annual Damasus Winzen Memorial Lecture by Fr. Kevin Seasoltz, osb, editor of Worship.
Topic: Worship and Law. May 4th at 4 p.m. followed by Vespers and refreshments.
