August 2008
News:
We celebrated our
patronal feast, the Transfiguration, Aug. 6th,
as a liturgical highlight for us. On Aug. 10th, Elissa Quinn who
has helped at the ladies' guest house during the summer, gave us a
recital. She sang a variety of songs in French, English and
Italian and was accompanied by Marcos
Krieger. The month of August is the time to wean our lambs
and
select the replacements and separate the males from the females.
Our female donkey gave birth to a male foal that attracts many
visitors. On Aug. 17th, a large crowd came for the Dedication
Day. A brunch and a piano recital by Fritz Orzelek followed the
mass. At the
end of the month, Fr. Martin
fell outside and fractured the pelvic
bone. Not much can be done about it at this time and he can
move around with pain until it heals on its own.
Coming Events:
