Vincent and Lydia, our new bookkeeper, and their family welcomed the Monks and Abbey staff to a housewarming in the newly renovated press building.

This area used to be the front desk and editors area for the Prairie Messenger and St. Peter’s press.

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.
