A heavy fog on the day and evening of Dec. 6 created a picturesque scene on the Abbey grounds on Dec. 7.

An Advent wreath was set up Dec. 1 to celebrate the Advent season in the dining room. The candle is lit at each meal. Here Br. Kurt does the honours.

The Abbey garden produced good pumpkins this year. David, a kitchen cook, prepares them for making pumpkin pies. The monks are looking forward to pumpkin pie this year.

November is the month of the dead and on Nov. 8 the monks had special prayers for the deceased members of the community who have their pictures displayed in the church.
