Mount Saviour Monastery
December 2012
News:
From December 1st, to the 6th, the Prior, Br. Joseph, Br. Justin
and Br. Matthew attended a series of conferences at the Abbey of the
Genesee. On Dec. 12th, the Prior went to New York City for the Oblates
Meeting and stayed until Sunday to celebrate a memorial mass for Fr.
Martin at a Mercy Convent. Many Sisters and lay people who know
the monastery were present. The Christmas festivities began with
the first Vespers and the blessing of the Creche. The Christmas Day
dinner was shared with all our guests. On the feast of the Holy Innocents,
we have the tradition of singing Christmas carols. Clare Smock and
some friends came to accompany the singing. The construction of the
link between the main buildings and the chapel is progressing slowly.
The donations at this time of the year will go toward the cost of that
project (almost $200,000). We will mail our Christmas
Chronicle at the beginning of January. You can see the
internet edition.
Happy New Year
