Mount Saviour Monastery
August 2000
News:
The feast of the Transfiguration, Aug. 6th, marks the end of the Summer
Program. We used to have a picnic in the rose garden but the weather
was not favorable. The summer is the best season to paint; the Arts
& Crafts building and part of St. John's received a coat of paint.
New windows were installed at St. Gertrude's. We had the visit of
Fr.
Thomas Chisholm from St. Procopius Abbey in Illinois; he spent 6 months
with us in the 70s. A long-term guest, Fr. Ken Shaw, received
an assignment at the Marian Shrine of Stony Point NY. He spent many
hours to maintain the grounds. At the end of the month, the
road to St. Gertrude's was closed to be enlarged and paved.
Dedication Day:
A
large crowd attended our Dedication Day, on Aug. 20th.
Clare Smock,
Peter Calderone, Laura Kahl and Bethany Kowalik gave a well prepared
recital. The talented young musicians performed a variety of works
to please the crowd.
