  • On the first day of mowing hay this season, our tractor got stuck in the mud. Thankfully, due to the generosity of our neighbors, it wasn’t long before it was rescued!
  • Sister Magdalena celebrated her Silver Jubilee (25 years of monastic profession) on May 31, Feast of the Visitation.
  • On the memorial of
    Our Lady of Fatima, May 13, Sister Kathryn was clothed with the Benedictine habit. She is a native Coloradan, and one of her hobbies is writing icons.
  • Postulant Mary waters the plants in the greenhouse. We are grateful to have another green thumb in the community!
  • Sister Assunta prays in her cell as the sun reflects a unique pattern onto the crucifix
