Visitors to St. Peter’s Abbey are greeted with this contemporary Christmas creche depicting men and women of various trades and cultures that Jesus came to announce the good news for.

The Abbey church was decorated Dec. 24 afternoon for the Christmas season with a Christmas tree, flowers and banners.

Fr. Paul continues to be taken care of at St. Peter’s Abbey. He is suffering from Lou Gehrig’s disease. Since December 3, his cousin Theresa has been providing volunteer support during the night. Monks provide assistance during the day.

Br. Basil hangs up two Advent banners in the Abbey church to remind us of the season preceding Christmas.
