Mount Saviour Monastery

September 2019 News:
On the 9th Brother Luke underwent an operation known as a Whipple Procedure. It was a nine-hour operation performed to remove a tumor which thanks be to God is not cancerous. The rest of the community attended a Virtus training presentation entitled 'Keeping the Promise Alive', a child and adult safeguarding program refresher for all the brothers. The next day brothers John and Gabriel departed for Europe. They went visiting other monastic houses of our Province and attended a week of meetings at the monastery of Montserrat in Spain.
   

On the 15th our Chaplain Father Don was also able to travel as substitute priests had been arranged for during his absence. On the 17th the first panel of the triptych that has hung behind the tabernacle was transported to the conservatory where it will be cleaned and refurbished. Brother Bruno is transporting the triptych, appropriately enough, in three trips. The process at the conservatory could take up to a year to complete.

Brother Luke returned from the hospital and was given a room in our infirmary on the 20th. His surgery was successful and without problems. Thankfully his healing proceeds speedier than usual. Please remember him in prayer as his recovery is expected to take several more weeks. On the 24th Brother John and Gabriel returned from Europe tired after many travel days and with many travel tales to tell. Father Don returned on the 30th so we are all back together once again.
