In the week before Christmas special “O” antiphons are used at Vespers. Each day celebrates a particular title of Jesus. Brother Basil shows Theo some symbols made by Sister Rita of the Ursulines of Bruno which were donated to the Abbey a few years ago

The Monks held their annual Christmas get together with the staff of the Abbey on the afternoon of Dec. 19.

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.
