Monastery Updates 3/16/2024
Dear Friends,
HOLY WEEK SCHEDULE: The community reviewed last year’s schedule. It will remain pretty much the same. The one change is we will recite Morning Prayer in the church at 9a.m. Thurs., Fri. and Sat. rather than sing the lessons of Tenebrae. Mass of the Last Supper will be on Thursday at 7 p.m. with the washing of feet. Procession follows with adoration till midnight. That is a beautiful time to pray and be present to the Lord. I read some of the prayers and hymns of St. Thomas Aquinas who wrote the Mass prayers and hymns including the Tantum Ergo for this feast. The Dominicans who lived with Thomas said he liked to even sit very close to Jesus when he adored the Eucharist. It is a beautiful evening to spend time close to the Lord. I love that time and do my best to stay till midnight.

Paul of the Cross, founder of the Passionists, always wished his monasteries to be places of hospitality. The same applies for our retreat center. We have a variety of retreats for men, women, mothers and daughters, fathers and sons, and many day events as well.
