A Very
Solemn Feast Day Saturday, July 11th was
the solemn feast of our Holy Father St.
Benedict. This year’s celebration was very
special in that it was the first time that both our
monks and oblates were able to come together in prayer
since the pandemic began in March. Accompanied
by the proper health precautions, the Holy Eucharist
was presided over by our Prior, Fr. Damien.
Altogether, over 20 of our oblates – counting those
who attended the Mass and those who sent in their
commitment from home - renewed their promise to strive
to put into practice the teachings of St. Benedict,
according to their state in life. It was a very
festive occasion for which we were all grateful as we
continue to put our trust in God’s providence and stay
spiritually connected in every way possible!
