Br. Wolfgang Thiem, OSB cuts into his birthday cake.

He celebrated his 93rd birthday on April 28.

At the end of two weeks of work, much of the abbey kitchen renovations have been
completed. The week of April 24 will see the painters at work.

Our abbey kitchen is undergoing its biggest renovation since 1921. Highlights include: an new floor; new paint; new open shelving; new plumbing and electrical. Cordon Bleu here we come!

Br. Basil and Neil Adam review the first day’s work on renovating the Abbey kitchen
floor. The renovations began on April 11. The floor you see was nailed down in
1921.
