On March 6th,
Fr.
Martin represented the community for the funeral service of
Douglas Gravel, the director of the
New York Oblates. He remained very devoted to Mount Saviour in
spite of a long battle with cancer. The fourth Sunday of Lent is
a traditional visit to Grace Episcopal Church to sing Vespers and
Compline. The parishioners always prepare a festive supper for
the occasion.
Br. Thomas
came back to spend Holy Week with us and was accompanied by 2
Vietnamese monks who are studying at St.Vincent Seminary.
