Summer Interns Share Their Experience
The Fall Newsletter recaps yet another summer of navigating the pandemic while maintaining our monastic life and ministry of prayer and hospitality. Even though our guest house has been closed, we were able to host several young women as interns. These women participated fully in our life of prayer and used the time wisely. They took the opportunity to look inward in order to discern their life's meaning and direction at a deeper level.
Also featured in the newsletter is an article about our community retreat with Fr. Simeon Leiva-Merikakis, ocso, a scholar and monk of Saint Joseph’s Abbey, Spencer, MA. As Sr. Gertrude writes, "The retreat, 'Encounter with the Risen Jesus,' gave us an in-depth and fascinating look into the post-Resurrection accounts found in the Gospel of St. Matthew."
